A chapter in Futurizing Intellectual Capital, 2025, pp 1-6 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This editorial introductory chapter sets the stage for a forward-looking exploration of intellectual capital (IC) in both theoretical and practical contexts. It addresses the evolving landscape of IC in an era marked by rapid technological, institutional and socio-political disruptions and demonstrates the need for futurizing the field of IC. By providing a cohesive framework for the book’s thematic sections, this chapter highlights the novel viewpoints and visions from leading experts concerning future directions for IC research and practice. It also summarizes the book’s 16 main chapters and discusses how each of them pushes the boundaries of conceptual and empirical insights in the field of IC. This comprehensive introduction contributes to deeper understanding of the proposed new paradigms to align IC theory and practice with future economic, social, and technological changes.
