Research
Academic work on organizational capital began in the United States in the 1970s with the research of Professor John F. Tomer. In 1987, Tomer provided an academic definition of organizational capital in his book Organizational Capital: The Path to Higher Productivity and Well-Being.
More recently (2009), Professor Ahmed Bounfour, of the University of Paris, edited the book Organisational Capital: Modelling, Measuring and Contextualising. This book provides an overview of organizational capital as a concept, and offers different perspectives - IT, marketing, business and societal modeling - for managing organizational capital as an intangible asset.

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not as strong as we are. We will ruin reality.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“One of the most important findings to come out of our research is that being where you want to be is good for you. We found a very strong correlation between preferring the role you are in and well-being. The homemaker who is at home because she likes that “job,” because it meets her own desires and needs, tends to feel good about her life. The woman at work who wants to be there also rates high in well-being.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“After all, the ultimate goal of all research is not objectivity, but truth.”
—Helene Deutsch (1884–1982)
