Evaluation and Management of Intellectual Capital at Pardubice Airport: Case Study

Abstract

The issue of intellectual capital was gaining importance during last few years. This trend is particularly evident from the perspective of individual companies that are trying to purposefully manage one of the most valuable resource of the company – human resources. Actual trends of scientific research that are related to intellectual capital are focused on finding the connections between the various entities and processes that have an impact on the efficiency of the management components of intellectual capital. A possible way for determine the level of intellectual capital is from the view of the employees, specifically in terms of evaluation processes by employees that are relevant in the line of intellectual capital. The above definition is also associated with the main objective of the paper, i.e. to demonstrate the outcomes of research through the case study - questionnaire survey among employees of the airport in Pardubice. Detected outcomes will be subsequently expressed through descriptive characteristics that will provide a sufficient degree of erudition for conclusions of case study. The paper is based on current scientific research of the intellectual capital – the theoretical definition of solved problems that will be confronted with the outcomes of the research. The main benefit of the paper can be seen in the expansion of existing methods for assessing the level of the intellectual capital, namely through the case study.
