Abstract
At the present time one of the different methods of competitive advantages for businesses the—so-called soft values, i.e., intangible assets to face the new challenges. It is in this perspective that companies are changing their strategies and rethinking their organization, structures and processes in order to obtain a better detection and measurement of intangible assets.
Knowledge is considered a basic resource for value creation. Managing knowledge and IC create opportunities and competitive advantages. In this contest the measuring intellectual capital of businesses gained great importance. In this study, after a description of the concept for intellectual capital is explained the measurement models and valuation adopted have experienced a demise in the last decades.
Giovanni Bronzetti has developed Sects. 1 and 2, Graziella Sicoli Sects. 3 and 4 while Maria Serena Chiucchi and Marco Giuliani have written Sect. 5. Section 6 has involved all the authors.
