Synopsis
Emergence of the Intellectual Capital Economy: Singapore’s National Experience in Strategic Knowledge Management
Talk by Zaid Hamzah Managing a nation’s intellectual capital assets to drive growth has become a strategic imperative. Recognizing the economic value of intellectual capital and knowledge assets in promoting national competitiveness, Singapore has developed the strategic roadmap and has designed its economy to become an intellectual capital economy. With almost US$13 billion allocated (2011-2015) for research and innovation, how will Singapore secure its returns on knowledge investments? How will Singapore design the next intellectual capital economy against the context of an increasingly complex knowledge-intensive global economy? How will Singapore shape the new growth order in the constantly shifting geo-strategic economic landscape?

Intellectual Capital can be used to generate wealth through investment . Examples of intellectual capital include knowledge created from human innova�on , corporate brands and intellectual property rights like patents and copyrights (eg in so�ware) -‐ all of these things are inputs that can be used to create wealth. Like physical capital (eg technology-‐driven machinery) intellectual capital are used in produc�on to generate wealth. To create wealth, intellectual capital are typically combined with labor (the work of individuals who exchange their �me and skills for money) and financial capital. Intellectual capital has value because of proprietary rights. Individuals or companies can claim ownership to their intellectual capital and exploit it as they deem fit. They can also transfer ownership of their intellectual capital to other individual s or corpora�ons and keep the sale proceeds.

The Big Strategic Picture Within the last quarter century, the market value of the S&P 500 companies has deviated greatly from their book value. This "value gap" indicates that physical and financial accountable assets reflected on a company's balance sheet comprises less than 20% of the true value of the average firm. Research from Ocean Tomo, a leading IPR Investment Banking firm, shows that a significant por�on of this intangible value is represented by patented technology.

“R&D is an important ac�vity in a knowledge-‐based economy like Singapore. Through R&D, we discover new knowledge, drive innova�ons that improve our lives and we develop new economic opportuni�es. R&D is integral to Singapore’s development strategy -‐ It gives us an edge against larger and be�er resourced countries. It helps us to stay abreast of scien�fic breakthroughs that will transform our lives. It prepares us in skills and exper�se that will enable us to exploit new industries and new economic opportuni�es”

Expor�ng Knowledge Capital
”We need experts to tap on the knowledge of emerging trends, technological advances and existing capabilities so that we can identify what are the promising research areas to pursue. We need the industry and agencies to translate findings into practical and economically-viable solutions for us, some of which hopefully can then be exported overseas. We need the Government and the population to be involved because finally, if we are going to change the city and change the way we use space and organize ourselves, the state has to take the lead, make things happen and people have to understand and make the system work”
