Sogo,

allow me to share some issues:

1. isn't stockprize itself an nice indicator of the value of your company?

2. ONLY what gets measured gets done. Deciding to measure one thing implies not measuring another.

3. in my opinion measuring knowledge will be highly subjective. Measurement as an instrument needs objectivity and needs to be repeatable...

4 ...perhaps context is changing to fast to get stable and therefore effective measurements; e.g. what is the value of COBOL programming at present and how will the passing of Jan 1st 2000 influence its value (as Cobol is widely used in repairing Y2K issues)?

So will IC measurement deliver better management information to management? Or will it provide numbers to be influenced by management decisions that are targeted at changing THE MEASUREMENTS, not THE OBJECT MEASURED?
