Measurement and Application of Intellectual Capital at the Level of Districts

The purpose of this study is to design a model about an intellectual capital measurement at district levels. In this study, a comprehensive literature search was conducted to determine the indicators based on the intellectual capital components proposed by Edvinsson and Malone (1997), and 200 indicators were identified under 5 components. The set of indicators prepared has been reduced to the level of the districts based on author evaluations and expert opinions. Eventually the intellectual capital district index model consisting of 41 variable indicator is achieved. The intellectual capital levels of the 37 provinces including Konya and Karaman were determined, including subcomponents and the intellectual capital map of Konya and Karaman illiterates defined as TR52 level II regions is obtained. No research has been found in the literature that focuses on the application of intellectual capital at the district level. In this direction, it is expected that our research will provide important contributions in the literature
