How can anchoring and performance of an Intellectual Capital reporting in health care centers be facilitated? Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to develop a prototype for Intellectual Capital reporting in health care centers.

The explorative method is used as this is appropriate due to the lack of research regarding intellectual capital reporting in health care centers. Conclusion: Intellectual Capital reporting in a health care center needs to be put in a greater context. The necessity of the reporting and its results need to be clarified and understood. The Intellectual Capital report needs to be combined with a guiding or navigation tool to be anchored at the center. Reporting needs to be easy performed. Gathering of data needed has to be possible even with limited resources. (Less)
