Elham Ebrahimi, Hossein Janatifar

Abstract


Managing the intangible assets like Intellectual capital (IC) has been widely considered as a fundamental tool to gain and maintain competitive advantage. Read more about the meaning of intangible assets at https://exclusivepapers.net/buy-a-literary-analysis-paper.php they can both help with understanding the main points of the question, and allow buy literary analysis paper to fix the explanation and encourage you to new discoveries in the matter. According to this, the present study proposes a multiple criteria approach to rank companies based on their IC capability. We use fuzzy AHP method to determine the weights of the criteria. The companies are then ranked according to IC capability indicators by TOPSIS method.
