Abstract

This chapter develops the discussions about Intellectual Capital (IC) dynamics. More in depth, here IC is analysed in terms both of value creation and of value destruction adopting a temporal lens. The main findings of this study are the following. First, it emerges that the roles of IC in creating and destroying value are not the same and thus there is the managerial need to consider both of them. Second, it emerges that the time-lags related to IC tend to be not monitored but only perceived. Third, IC and FC are perceived to be a “distant” relationship in time (i.e., deferred in temporal terms). Forth, the time-lags related to the value destruction process do not the ones referred to the value creation one.
