Chapter Chapter 1 in Intangible Asset Gap in Global Competitiveness, 2021, pp 1-9 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This pre-study aims to trigger a discussion of small high-tech countries’ strategies for the future, beginning with Sweden given observed indications and resulting implications of policy complacency in an economy relying on intangible assets (IA) for its economic growth. The study has two main angles: a country (macro) and a firm (micro) perspective on the use of IA. It explores what options exist–expressed as projects–to learn about this field in-depth in order to better inform policy. Such a strategy discussion would include the “triple-play” of economic, social and environmental concerns, where the environmental concern ends up in the denominator as an asset. Just like with mining, in the area of IA one has to constantly mine and find new ores to stay in business. In fact, this mining has reducing returns in IA–an exponentially increasing research is needed to sustain productivity–calling for new, more experimental, structures of learning to find new ores.
