OKLC

OKLC was a great conference. It really is cutting edge when it comes to what is being done in research at the moment. I mainly followed the K track which focussed on Intangible Assets and Social, Intellectual and Cultural Capital.

It is so pleasant to be on a conference that does not focus on someone trying to sell you something or which is mainly done for making profit.

On the K track I was most impressed with

Intangible assets and social, intellectual and cultural capital: origins, functions and value
Bradburn, Anton University of Westminster, UK
Coakes, Elayne University of Westminster, UK

They gave a very good overview on tools, definitions and measures which are very useful for my literature review as well.

Organisational Capital as Competitive Advantage of the Firm
Navas López, José Emilio Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain
Alama Salazar, Elsa Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain
Martín de Castro, Gregorio Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain
López Sáez, Pedro Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain

Their paper is very strong and accurate and a very interesting read and really foucsses on the word sustainable advantage which is something that is usually very difficult to grasp.

A very good summary on the OKLC can be found on Mathemagenic as Lilia Efimova was there too (and I had the chance to meet her and tell her that she is a celeb in blogging, which she already knew anyways)...
