Evaluation of Intellectual Intensity of Organizations

This contribution is dedicated to the issues of evaluating the intellectual intensity of enterprises and organizations, which, in turn, stimulates creativity and knowledge exchange within the company and allows the creation of new products and services. The author examines intangible assets, defines their characterizing criteria, highlights features of their life cycle, and substantiates that these types of assets influence the degree of use of intellectual capital. The author has systematized approaches to the quantitative assessment of intellectual intensity as an economy as a whole, and enterprises in particular, and proposed a methodology for calculating the indicator applicable to enterprises and organizations, allowing to determine the value of intangible assets per 1 ruble of revenue. Based on the proposed methodology, the author analyzes 1618 types of economic activity, and identifies types of activity with intellectual intensity exceeding 1 (types in which more than 1 ruble of intangible assets falls per 1 ruble of revenue). Based on the analysis, the ranking of enterprises and organizations in the Russian Federation in terms of types of economic activity by the indicator of intellectual intensity is carried out, and types of activity included in the high quartile are identified.
