Comprehensive Intellectual Capital Management: Step-By-Step

About the Author

Nermien Al-Ali began her Intellectual Property (IP) career as the Managing Attorney of the IP Department of one of Egypt's leading international business law firms, Ibrachy & Dermarkar. Then she counseled multinational clients on local and international IP laws and treaties. Her business experience encouraged her to embark on researching models for managing IP and other intellectual capital, leading to her teaching career. Through extensive research in the emerging field of intellectual capital management (ICM), Professor Al-Ali designed and teaches a course on ICM as a business management approach for the management of human capital, knowledge and intellectual property in the new economy at Franklin Pierce Law Center. It is not only the first course of its kind to be offered at a U.S. law school, but one that offers a comprehensive approach for understanding the emerging field of ICM—hence her Comprehensive Intellectual Capital Management (CICM) model.
