After <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> analysis, we syn<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>sized that <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> indicators should have <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> following characteristics in our<br />

opini<strong>on</strong>:<br />

to cover cognitive areas <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> organizati<strong>on</strong>al system with strategic importance;<br />

be relevant to end users<br />

to provide useful management informati<strong>on</strong>,<br />

be operati<strong>on</strong>al and manageable<br />

understandable and communicable<br />

be built <strong>on</strong> easily accessible database enterprise system<br />

4.5 5’th characteristic (<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> possibility to compare)<br />

It is necessary to find a model that would allow comparis<strong>on</strong>s between different business realities. An<br />

approach that can be taken into account is <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> IC index (Intellectual Capital Index), which focuses <strong>on</strong><br />

m<strong>on</strong>itoring <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> dynamics <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> intellectual capital that aims to aggregate all <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> indicators into a single<br />

index and correlate with changes in intellectual capital and changes in market, defined in order to<br />

overcome <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> difficulties brought about by <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> use <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> different methods, characterized by inflexibility<br />

and <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> difficulty <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> making comparis<strong>on</strong>s.<br />

4.6 6’th characteristic (organizati<strong>on</strong>al variables)<br />

Changes should not <strong>on</strong>ly cover business strategies, but must also affect <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> organizati<strong>on</strong>al structure<br />

and pers<strong>on</strong>nel management practices as key elements to nourish and support <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong>going review <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> company's market positi<strong>on</strong>ing. A good reporting system requires, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>refore, organizati<strong>on</strong>al<br />

integrati<strong>on</strong>, which focus <strong>on</strong> both <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> system's capacity to influence <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> behavior <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> different levels <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

organizati<strong>on</strong> so as to align <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> behavior <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> all stakeholders in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> ultimate goal <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> creating value, so<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> links between performance measurement system, business strategy, management systems and,<br />

but also in particular, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> operati<strong>on</strong>al mechanisms <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> planning and c<strong>on</strong>trol and incentive systems.<br />

It is necessary to support organizati<strong>on</strong>al acti<strong>on</strong> to have a flexible organizati<strong>on</strong>al structure, an<br />

integrated and strategic management through which businessmen can ensure a successful<br />

completi<strong>on</strong>. Emphasis should be geared to building an envir<strong>on</strong>ment and a general climate, a<br />

relati<strong>on</strong>ship, so that people can find <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>ir own values and aspirati<strong>on</strong>s and ambiti<strong>on</strong>s are brought in to<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fer <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>ir commitment and creativity. Since <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> strategy is shared by employees is necessary that<br />

pers<strong>on</strong>al goals are aligned with organizati<strong>on</strong>al goals, you will need to build a model that gives<br />

individuals an understanding <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> corporate strategy, explaining how each fits into <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> strategic map <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

organizing and how it c<strong>on</strong>tributes to <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> strategic objectives. Involvement in decisi<strong>on</strong>s, awards for <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

proper performance <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> duties, access to informati<strong>on</strong>, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> encouragement to be creative and innovative<br />

collaborati<strong>on</strong>s obtained from <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> bodies <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> staff general satisfacti<strong>on</strong> in being part <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> company, are<br />

c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s that help to improve employee satisfacti<strong>on</strong>, and <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>refore, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>ir loyalty and productivity, so<br />

that <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> reference point is <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>tributi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> sustainable and c<strong>on</strong>sistent over time, that people can<br />

lead to organizati<strong>on</strong>al success.<br />

5. Intellectual capital management perspectives<br />

Intellectual capital management system is an area <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> knowledge that involves a variety <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> intellectual<br />

property pr<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>essi<strong>on</strong>als, especially lawyers, business executives, financial planners and advisers.<br />

Pr<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>essi<strong>on</strong>als in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> field <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> "intellectual property" tend to focus <strong>on</strong> knowledge that can be encrypted<br />

and protected legally. Human resources and informati<strong>on</strong> technology pr<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>essi<strong>on</strong>als c<strong>on</strong>sidered most<br />

important <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> exchange <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> knowledge. Those who occupy <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> largest part <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> innovati<strong>on</strong> tend to look<br />

for more effective results.Intellectual capital management is not a new c<strong>on</strong>cept. Since <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> fifties, is an<br />

area <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> knowledge that involves various stakeholders and developing a variety <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> tools, some <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> which<br />

are well known, such as TQM (Total Quality Management) and JIT (Just in Time). Many researchers<br />

argue that <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> greatest part <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> resources in organizati<strong>on</strong>s in developed countries c<strong>on</strong>sist <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

knowledge, intellectual capital, which inevitably have a major role in managing global affairs.<br />

While <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> sector strategy and organizati<strong>on</strong> development program are what make up its intellectual<br />

capital management, each company still needs a comprehensive strategy for managing intellectual<br />

capital. The term "global" means an intellectual capital management model that goes bey<strong>on</strong>d <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

cycle <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> value creati<strong>on</strong>. The needs <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> each organizati<strong>on</strong> in relati<strong>on</strong> to this model, regardless <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> its<br />
