The UAM-Accenture Chair (www.uam.es/catedra-uam-accenture) launches the second Edition of the Award for a research paper in Economics and Management of Innovation.
In the last few decades the world has experienced an enormous change from an industrial economy to knowledge-based economy, where generating value and competitive advantage is associated with intangible elements such as knowledge and intellectual capital.
With this in mind, the 2010 Award motto is ’Knowledge and Intellectual Capital management in organizations: towards encouraging innovation’.
Within this broad topic the following issues may be dealt with either together or alternatively.
– Intellectual Capital management models
– Intellectual Capital and knowledge indicators for decision-making processes.
– Management of intangible resources in Public Administration
– Intellectual Capital management within the services sector.
– Knowledge of new business models and the role of Intellectual Capital
– Knowledge management within Universities
– Intellectual Capital Reports within the new economic context
– Management of Intangibles and Capital Markets.
Regardless of the topic chosen, it must be clearly related to innovation.
