AWARD TITLE:
The Edvinsson - Saint-Onge Best Student Paper Award
AMOUNT: $2,000 USD
THEME:
Regional or national intellectual capital development
DESCRIPTION:
Much of the extant literature on intellectual capital has
focused on the firm level of analysis. However, a
burgeoning area of interest poses an important research
question: How can we identify, measure and leverage
the intellectual capital of nations or regions? Many
of the same constructs within firm-level research (e.g.,
financial capital, human capital and structural capital)
have similar conceptualizations for countries. Some
nations (e.g., Sweden, Croatia, Israel, Denmark) and
regions (e.g., Arab Region) have already ventured
forward into this field of research. Although great
strides have been made, there is much more opportunity
left. For this particular award, submitted papers can be
conceptual, theoretical, empirical, experimental, or case
studies and will be adjudicated by the awards committee:
