| Structural Capital - The Tangible Assets |
Structural Capital = The sum of a company's tangible assets
including financial assets,
buildings, machinery and equipment,
manufacturing
facilities, distribution channels and sales outlets.
Over the last ten
years, the book value of most firms as measured by traditional
accounting
practices
has decreased relative to the firm's
overall market valuation. The proportion of value attributable to
tangible assets was about twenty percent
for the S&P 500 in the United
States
in year 2000. Managers
are expected to grow the tangible assets of the firm as much as possible.

Additionally, Senior Managers and Board Members will be held accountable for any errors of omission or commission. Managing the financial assets of the firm will continue to be one pillar on which the success and failure of the firm rests. |
