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:
