Models and Method for the Risk Assessment of an Intellectual Resource
Authors: Maciej Kiedrowicz, Jerzy Stanik
Abstract: The objective of the article is to show the impact of various categories of risk factors related to intellectual resources, i.e. the components of intellectual capital, on their safety and going concern. Following an analysis of the literature on this subject and the authors’ own observations, an attempt was made to define three types of risk models related to intellectual assets. A substantial part of the study was devoted to the methodology of risk assessment of the intellectual resource. The presented approach considers various categories of risk factors, resulting from both the architecture of the intellectual resource as well as other elements used in the processes and areas of intellectual capital management. The models outlined in this article could be the starting point for developing the methodology of risk assessment of the intellectual assets and appropriate policies of an organization, e.g. its information security, risks or quality, which may in turn constitute input values for developing the risk management system related to the intellectual capital of such organization.
