Intellectual capital focuses more on capturing the best judgement and experiences of today’s employees, termed as knowledge workers (Chong and Choi, 2005).
It is a composite of knowledge, information, intellectual property and experience possess by the organisational members, who come to work in the morning and go home at the end of the day.
When these employees leave an organisation for good, they bring valuable knowledge and experience with them, leaving their previous organisations at the losing end.
