Extended reporting frameworks that encompass intellectual capital have been demonstrated to return the investment made in them many times over. They also evince corporate social, environmental and good corporate governance. An efficient response by companies seeking an optimal market result would be to increase the disclosure and transparency of intellectual capital. Readers of this book will better understand this and discover how to add value in a way that benefits all stakeholders.Professor Richard Petty, Professor and Executive Director International, Macquarie Graduate School of Management; Macquarie University, Australia.Routledge Companions are marvellous assemblies of scholarship in specialised fields. I welcome intellectual capital now featuring in this series. Intellectual capital is highly interdisciplinary. This book contains a smörgåsbord of coverage, addressing cross-cutting intellectual capital issues by topic (Business model mapping, customer performance measurement, digital communication, disclosure, firm performance, integrated reporting, investors, value creation), by geography (Australia, China, Japan, New Zealand, Russia, Sweden, US) and by sector (banking, healthcare, universities). Some of the earliest writers feature as authors (who the editors call "grandfathers" of intellectual capital), as do some of the most prolific intellectual capital scholars, together with some active intellectual capital practitioners. The thirty chapters represent a mix of theory and practice, including case studies. This text will quickly become one of the leading resources for intellectual capital researchers.Niamh Brennan, Michael MacCormac Professor of Management, University College Dublin, Ireland.
