Measuring Intellectual Capital in Higher Education
Universities establish strategic plans to achieve their goals. However, these plans may not be successful if the needed resources are not available. Arguably, the most valuable resources in any university are the expertise of its faculty and staff; its intellectual capital. Therefore, if a university effectively measures and manages these valuable resources, it can more effectively create and deploy strategies to achieve its goals. This paper explores methods to effectively measure the intellectual capital in a university. It examines methodologies in the for-profit sector, creates analogies in the academic world, and then seeks to develop classifications which are meaningful in an academic environment. A study is done which mines an institutional repository to analyse expertise and proxy measures of intellectual capital. The results are analysed according to a production possibilities frontier theory.
