Abstract
This research commenced with a study of the concepts of knowledge management and
intellectual capital to establish a clear understanding of the importance of the management of intellectual assets of a company. In the review of existing measurement models the strengths
and weaknesses and primary uses of each model were explored to understand the different goals for using different models. After the need for an intellectual capital management tool was established, different models were considered and recommendations were made for developing an intellectual capital management tool in retail companies in South Africa.
