Knowledge Capital as an Intelligence Source

Abstract

Chapter Summary

This chapter fills a significant gap in the intelligence literature and the knowledge sciences literature by aligning definitions and characterizations of knowledge capital as an essential intelligence source. The chapter also explains how knowledge capital might be leveraged in each of the four capabilities. The chapter presents a well-researched characterization of knowledge capital drawing from international scholars and practitioners’ work. The value of human capital, structural capital, and relational capital in intelligence work is explored.
