Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Organisations retain intellectual capital by transferring human capital into structural capital. Structural capital refers to the knowledge that is captured and retained within an organisation's systems and processes, rather than solely in the minds of individual employees. By consolidating knowledge, skills and expertise within the organisation, the institutional memory of the organisation grows and the risk of knowledge loss due to employee turnover is minimized. Encouraging early retirement and discouraging communication between employees are not effective methods for retaining intellectual capital.
