What is Organisational Intellectual Capital

In the intellectual capital and knowledge management (KM) literatures, emotional capital has been a neglected dimension. From the late 1980s into the 1990s, there was burgeoning interest in intellectual capital, which had a substantial impact on the early development of KM.

This article explicates the concept of emotional capital and provides a framework for understanding its role in organisational KM.
