Strategic Application of Intellectual Capital Research for Transformational Change in Complex Organizational Environments

The primary purpose of this research study is to develop a framework to implement the transformational change by using the insights of intellectual capital. This study employed ‘structuring’ as a strategy for research in which phenomenon of interest is organized and documented in the form of models. Intellectual capital and its applications in various fields have been debated considerably during the last few years. But its application in the field of change management is still unexplored. Therefore, identifying and implementing the strategies of intellectual capital is a new technique that would help to reduce the rate of failure in change management. This is an initial form of the application of intellectual capital in the field of change management. There is still a greater need to conduct separate studies to understand the applications and impacts of the three components of intellectual capital upon transformational change. This study consists of clear roadmap to transform the organization by using the elements of intellectual capital. This study concentrates on the application of intellectual capital research in organizational transformation. Not much work has been done in this emerging context. By this way, this study not fills the gap in existing literature per se, but also generates new paradigms for organizational research in the field of change management.
