Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between technological advances and intellectual capital improvement. Researches show that technological advances and intellectual capital have a strong relationship but this relationship has not been examined systematically. This paper reviews the important theoretical work in both streams of research, highlighting the fundamental similarities and differences. Models of intellectual capital are compared, and the distinction between social human and structural capital and customer capital is examined. The results support the view that technological advances have a positive impact on intellectual capital. Therefore,  technological advances can improve intellectual capital in organizations.
