Consequence of an IC-index Approach

Connecting IC to Shareholder Value Shareholder value = market value The impact of IC is stronger in opportunities than in operations. The best : Balance the IC & Financial Capital

How much? Hidden Value

Monetary value for its IC Three approaches to calculate a monetary value for a company IC: (1) the cost-based approach – determining the value of an asset by ascertaining its replacement costs. (2) the market-based approach – determining the value of an asset by obtaining a consensus of what others in the market have valued the asset at. (3) the income-based approach – determining the value of an asset by looking at the income-producing capability of the asset. Marr, Schiuma, and Neely, 2004

International Accounting Standards Board ได้กำหนดกฎเกณฑ์สำหรับ สิ่งที่จะเป็นสินทรัพย์และ สามารถแสดงมูลค่าได้ในรายงานการเงินขององค์กร (balance sheet) –Asset: a resource controlled by an enterprise as a result of past events and from which future future economic benefit are expected to floe to the enterprise –Intangible asset: “an identifiable non-monetary assets without physical substance held for use in the production or supply of good and service, for rental to others, or for administrative purpose

IC Most IC resources do not fulfill all of the IASC requirements –Company do not own employee –Company do not have full control over employee –Research may not be certain that a piece of technology will generate future economic benefits –Company do not have a full control of its reputation Intangible assets [IASC]: is part of Structure Capital and exclude Relational Capital & Human Capital

Goodwill The excess of the cost of an acquired company over the sum of identifiable net assets –Goodwill occurs when an acquisition takes place [the price is determined, it can be recognized as an asset in the transaction- based accounting system]

The need to start measuring and valuing IC Valuation methods 1.Financial valuation of IC 2.Indicator approach valuation of IC 3.Narrative approach valuation of IC

1. Financial valuation of IC 1.1 Cost approach 1.2 Market approach 1.3 Income approach can be used in combination bandwidth to develop value of IC

IC financial valuation: 1.1 Cost approach Principle: Substitution & Price equilibrium –the investor will pay no more for an investment than the cost to obtain an investment of equal utility –IC price = cost to obtain that resource –Appropriate for setting transfer price, royalty rates, or estimate the amount of damages suffered by infringement

IC financial valuation: 1.1 Cost approach Flaws –Many important factors that drive value are not reflected in the cost approach The amount of benefits associate with IC The trend of the economic benefits The duration over which the economic benefits will be enjoyed

IC financial valuation: 1.2 Market approach Principle: competition and equilibrium –Free and unrestricted market –Supply and Demand factor will drive the price of any goods to a point of equilibrium – ความต้องการแปรผันโดยตรงต่อราคา

IC financial valuation: 1.2 Market approach Flaw –Can be used only if data is available regarding the transaction of IC resources are similar to the subject resources. –When the resources are unique, this approach is not appropriate

IC financial valuation: 1.3 Income approach Principle: anticipation –The value of IC resources = the expected economic income generate by the IC resources –Requires assumptions about the future income that will be produced

IC financial valuation: 1.3 Income approach Flaw –Require good and validly assumption about the future income

2: Indicator valuation Indicator valuation can be used when financial value of IC can not be determined and no other direct measurement can be found Indicator: a reasonably trustworthy estimate of an unknown value [Stam, 2002] Using of proxy for valuation

2: Indicator valuation Proxy valuation –Need several indicators to cover the usefulness of and IC resources –Need a criteria to measure –Difficult to judge whether the level of a particular indicator can be considered “good” or “bad”

3: Narrative valuation Most annual reports contain section about the strategy and resources of the company [tell the stories about the intellectual capital of the firm] Topics are IC related –Employee –Process –Best practice –QA –IT & ICT

3: Narrative valuation example: the Intellectual Capital Statement For the Danish government –Explicit contains a narrative section called “the knowledge narrative” –The section tells the story of how IC helps to create value for companies.

REPORTING OF IC

IC reporting The process of creating a story that shows how a company uses its intellectual capital to create value for its customers Involves Identify, Measuring & Reporting of IC as well as constructing a coherent presentation of how the company uses its knowledge resources

IC reporting IC statement which combines numbers, narrative and visualization of the company intellectual capital IC statement can fulfill two functions 1. Internal management function 2. External reporting function

1. Internal management function IC statements are a part of a company’s knowledge management strategy –IC can systemize KM [a coherent and systematic approach to managing and sharing knowledge which support general strategy] IC statement can develop specifically management of knowledge resource for a company

1. Internal management function IC statement helps develop the firm’s strategy and focuses on its innovative capabilities –Develop customer relation –Develop innovation –Develop effective processes –Develop new business model

1. Internal management function IC statement is a monitoring system that helps firms to account for their intangible resources and relate them to innovation –Survey the composition of intangibles and explain their development –Survey the investments made in developing intangible resources and highlight the firm’s effort to make greater use of intangibles –Monitor the effect of intangible resources and throw light on the results gained from intangible resources

1. Internal management function IC statement benefits the firm’s innovation ambition by linking efforts and objective to make the firm a more innovative one.

IC Statement

2. External reporting function IC statement can be used to communicate to various stakeholder groups –To the company itself [identity] –To potential employees –To customers –To co-operative partners –To investors –To citizens –To political system
