Stages and Algorithm for Assessing the Intellectual Capital of an Innovative Industrial Cluster

Aim. The presented study aims to identify stages and propose an algorithm for assessing the intellectual capital of an innovative industrial cluster.

Tasks. The authors classify the types of intellectual capital of an innovative industrial cluster; propose the structure of the intellectual capital of an innovative industrial cluster; develop the stages for assessing the intellectual capital of an innovative industrial cluster and an algorithm for assessing the intellectual capital of an innovative industrial cluster.

Methods. This study uses a combination of general scientific and natural scientific methods of cognition: observation, generalization, abstraction, and the graphical approach. These methods are used to consistently solve the tasks of the study.

Results. During the analysis of the types of intellectual capital of innovative industrial clusters, the authors classify them according to three criteria: carrier, involvement in the processes of the innovative industrial cluster, and the type of existence. The proposed classification allows the authors to develop the structure of intellectual capital of an innovative industrial cluster, which is presented in the form of four levels characterized by compressibility. The authors develop and describe the stages of assessing the intellectual capital of an innovative industrial cluster and propose an algorithm for its assessment consisting of three stages: preparatory, main, and final.

Conclusions. The study describes stages and an algorithm for assessing the intellectual capital of an innovative industrial cluster, which can be used to manage intellectual capital in order to increase its value and develop an innovative industrial cluster.
