A. Poulymenakou, N. Korfiatis, A. Papargyris The term ‘Information Economy’ encapsulates, inter alia, the prominence of information as an economic good, indispensable for the majority of operations and activities that are realized today in business and organisational contexts. Likewise, technologies and infrastructures enabling information generation, retrieval, and exchange are receiving increased attention. Information in this context is often the ‘pointer’ to intangible organisational assets that are recognised as a source of innovation, thus breeding currently an intense debate on the management of Intellectual Capital (IC). IC is loosely defined in terms of people (human capital), processes and structure (structural capital), customer and supply chains relationships (customer capital) (Edvinsson 1997). These three forms of IC are interrelated as well as strongly related to enterprise content and its innovative exploration and use by workers in an organisation (Nahapiet and Ghoshal 1998).
