Sure, once intangibles are measured there is a certain degree
of koncretization - indeed for many companies that is actually
one of the aims for measuring IC - indeed for conducting KM at
all.

However, the danger of people being treated like 'hard assets'
such as computers is non-existant. Unlike the other hard assets
humans are volatile - i.e. they can get up and walk away taking their
knowledge with them to the detriment and loss of the company. Because
of their fragile nature, you will find that even if employees become
regarded as hard assets, they will never be treated like them due to
the difficulty in replacing them.
