Intellectual capital models tend to have an incomplete and biased view of assets within the firm. Traditional accounting standards and practices focus on the tangible and financial assets and only consider a segment of intangible assets\, ignoring the value of social capital. This presentation builds on the modelling of intellectual capital in organizations from the literature and uses Popper’s 3 World theory to develop a more practical ontology. This model identifies and values a comprehensive classification of a firm’s capital and includes both tangible and intangible assets. The resulting integrated model comprises the five asset classes of physical\, financial\, structural\, human and social capital. The result validates the work by Adler & Kwon (2002) but offers an alternate sub-structure for social capital that is a more pragmatic model for industry. A hypothesis is developed that organizations that better understand the range of assets in the firm and invest in a portfolio of integrated management practices to manage that capital\, should remain viable.Time converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nDavid Williams is a multipotentialite with a background in project management in the construction and defence industries.

It thus stands at the intersection of disciplines\, fields and forms of life. This presentation places social capital theory in the context of attempts within mainstream economics to understand and capture the ‘social’ and more recent efforts by social scientists to gain recognition for the ‘social’ within mainstream policy debates. Drawing on earlier work on the development of the concept of social capital\, it connects these debates to more recent attempts to conceptualise and operationalise models of ‘social investment’. In both cases\, I argue\, tensions remain between efforts to make the ‘social’ fit market imperatives and efforts to recognise the value of social relations. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nBen Spies-Butcher teaches Economy and Society and is Head of the Sociology Department at Macquarie University. Ben completed his PhD in Economics at the University of Sydney while working in the non-government sector on issues of human rights. His research focuses on the political economy of social policy and the welfare state\, particularly how economic and political change shape social policy financing. His current research explores how financial logics common in the private sector are reshaping social policy through changes in public sector budgeting\, and the potential for these changes to open new opportunities for egalitarian social provision. \nIn addition to his academic publications\, Ben is a regular contributor to The Conversation and is a Social Policy Whisperer for Power to Persuade. Ben is a Research Associate at the Retirement Policy and Research Centre at the University of Auckland\, a member of the Policy Advisory Group for COTA NSW and was the 2017 Glenda Powell National Travelling Fellow for the Australian Association of Gerontology. \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students.

Critics are quick to point to these problems but the growing body of literature on social capital seems immune to criticism. Is it useful to frame these issues as “wicked problems”? \nIn this session we will discuss which problems associated with social capital should be considered “wicked” and how these problems can best be resolved or mitigated. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nTristan Claridge has been researching and applying social capital for over 20 years.
