Linking intellectual capital and knowledge management: an analysis of Kyoto and Detroit

The successes and failures of Detroit and Kyoto, from intellectual capital and organizational knowledge perspectives, are compared in terms of their similarities and differences as they both strive to maintain an accepted level of social development, global adjustment and urban quality of life. This paper examines the state of development of the four domains of knowledge in Detroit and Kyoto from a historical perspective, applies that analysis to the current state of knowledge and identifies linkages between intellectual capital and knowledge development.
