Corporate Governance and Intellectual Capital: some conceptualisations

James Keenan and Maria Aggestam

Corporate Governance: An International Review, 2001, vol. 9, issue 4, 259-275

Abstract: One of the persistent problems facing corporate governance is the increasing shift toward knowledge‐intensive organisations. This article focuses on the fiduciary responsibility of corporate governance for creating, developing, and leveraging the intellectual capital existing and embedded in the people, structures, and processes of the firm. Research and practice, traditionally concerned with governance responsibility for financial and physical capitals, has not much focused on the relations between governance and intellectual capital. Here, the authors’ intellectual capital paradigm is overlayered on a recent taxonomy of systems and features of corporate governance. The result is an explication of the role and characteristics of corporate governance in relation to the intellectual capital of the firm.
