Abstract

This case study illustrates the value of intellectual capital measurement, specific to human capital and innovation capital within an academic unit at a University of Wisconsin System campus. Within the case study, the academic unit was audited for their innovation practices and then examined to identify the value of human capital on their front line employees. Innovation continues to be a crucial component within academia as well as organizations in general to provide a competitive advantage. Understanding the value front line employees brings to a non-profit organization in academia continues to be a growing concern for many Universities'. The case study contains three parts; an innovation audit, several models and formulas to understand the value of human capital within a particular academic unit, and an overall conclusion and recommendation will be given for the current academic unit at the University of Wisconsin System campus.
