This book examines the role of intangible assets (IA) in companies and countries for achieving sustainable economic growth. The authors particularly focus on Sweden and other Nordic countries to analyse the IA gap using a systematized 'IA metrics' approach. They also discuss the incentives needed for strategic investments into useful IA to gain national competitiveness from an economic, social and environmental policy perspective.
The authors contend that despite the increasing importance of IA and intellectual capital (IC) in the economy, the current discussion has only been centered on intellectual property, which is one of the more prominent forms of intangibles. As this book demonstrates, IC and IA encompass wider dimensions of human, process, market, and renewal capital, among others. Featuring real case examples from Spotify, Minecraft and Izettle, this book offers a strategy for the resurrection of competitive advantage in the globalized economy and the advancement of some key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Prof. Edvinsson is a key pioneering contributor to theory and practice of IC. Becoming the world's first director of IC in 1991, he initiated the creation of the world's first public corporate Intellectual Capital Annual Report 1994, and inspired the development of IC metrics ever since. In 2013, he was awarded the Thought Leader Award by European Commission, Intel and Peter Drucker Association. In 2015, he was appointed Advisory Board to the Japan Innovation Network (JIN). He was also appointed to the Advisory Board of Norway Open Innovation Forum in 2016 and awarded the KM Award in Geneva at the United Nations in 2017.
