Summary

Management, Valuation, and Risk for Human Capital and Human Assets identifies the gaps between diverse perspectives on human assets and human capital with knowledge as an underlying theme. The collection discusses the building blocks needed for an interdisciplinary, theoretical framework that will allow for monetization, valuation, and advanced management of the most important assets organizations have.

By organizing the most current ideas from top scholars around a more broadly defined conceptualization of human capital and human assets, this book provides the opportunity for new directions for research to be imagined and for a more-comprehensive and inclusive framework to be offered.
