Measuring human capital: The key to organizational success?

Abstract

he downfall of giants such as Enron and Worldcom has rocked financial markets around the globe. The reasons behind the collapse of these seemingly invincible corporates have been explored at length. And there is a very clear common theme: an overriding desire to maintain shareholder loyalty – even if it means keeping them in the dark about what is really driving value. We live in a world where share price is king and where it seems that some directors and boards will go to any length to protect it. It is against this backdrop that shareholders are increasingly seeking more transparency and accountability.
