Abstract:
Having identified that there exists, as yet, no Maturity Model for Intellectual Asset (IA) Governance in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), the authors have attempted to develop theoretically one such Model and present it in this paper. Twelve dimensions of IA governance and enterprise infrastructure for IA governance were identified. The model also distinguishes among five archetypes according to their level of sophistication. Initial testing of the model with small and medium enterprises indicates that it provides insights into how enterprises approach intellectual governance and could be of use to businesses and policymakers alike.
