Managing Intellectual Capital in Hungarian Universites - the Case of Corvinus University of Budapest

The changes of higher education market draw the attention of Hungarian higher education institution to the increasing role of knowledge resources. Responding on the recent changes, several European universities have began to measure systematically their intellectual capital, but well-developed models - except Austrian case - are still not available. Aiming to identify the main characteristics of measuring and reporting the intellectual capital, we are carrying out a research in Corvinus University of Budapest (CUB) based on document analysis, survey and executive interviews. Our paper raises three research aims: 1) First, by examining and systematizing the practice of external and internal reporting system at CUB, we give an overview of the content and method of intellectual capital management of a higher education institution. 2) Second, we identify the existing information on the different element of intellectual capital found in the reporting. 3) Third, we summarize the opinion of the university academic staff on the intellectual capital awareness of the university management.
