Abstract

Wage-earners are not yet familiar with the phrase "human capital". In the near future however, head offices might need to reconsider everything having to do with the firm's "government" in relation to this sort of capital. Mostly immaterial and inseparable from its holder, human capital is going to shake up both human resource policies and control. Now as vital as financial capital, it should be the focus of investment programs and be reckoned with in terms of overhead and amortization. We might even imagine recruitment policies and a "knowledge economics" based solely on this criterion. Firms could be increasingly distinguished between the ones that try to minimize human capital and those that accept to pay a fair price for it.
