    Some useful definitions


    Fritz Machlup wrote in 1962, Ought we perhaps to avoid the term innovation since it is so promiscuosly used for a variety of meanings. Building on Schumpeters useful definition between invention and innovation Invention implies bringing something new into being; innovation implies bringing something new into use.

    * In 1969 J.K.Galbraith used the term intellectual capital, defining it as more
    than intellect as pure intellect but rather as including some type of intellectual action (Bontis, 1996).

    * Thomas A.Stewart, editor of Fortune magazine, whose first article, * Brainpower (1991), acted as a catalyst for incorporating intellectual capital
    into managerial thought and activities. Since than it has undergone many transformations, and is now definable by those intangible assets that do not show up on companies financial statements, and specifically, those which can be codified, and valued and managed by a company. Popular business writers such as Stewart(1991) define it as the combination of patents, processes, management skills, technologies, information about customers and suppliers, and experienec. Economists define it as Tobins-q (Tobin, 1969), a broad proportional measure of market value to book value.
