Introduction
With each new year more and more acute problems such as arise search resources, increase profitability, investment, enabling the company to grow and expand into new, higher levels.
A major factor in the competitiveness of businesses in today's economy is intellectual capital (IC), which promotes the efficient use of all resources of the organization: labor, material and financial. The complexity of the analysis of intellectual capital lies in the fact that tangible assets are separate from the non-material can not provide efficient and quality functioning of the company and its well-being, existence and achievement of the mission depends on the level of its internal intellectual abilities.
Infrared Components interact with each other: knowledge and skills of employees are reflected in the process of working with partners, and established strong ties with them affect the long-term relationships with customers, in turn, creates a regulatory framework, information portals, helping employees to gain experience.

3. Review of Research and Development
Effective management of IC is one of the most controversial issues in today's economy. At this stage it is not developed a specific system management IC, which would take into account all aspects of the business components and features of the IC.
3.1 Overview of international sources
Among Western scholars of IC problems it is advisable to allocate Solou, Romera, Sallivana, Styuarta, Bruking, in the papers that were based on the economic impact of technological change, developed a model of endogenous scientific - technological development, formulated the theory of unique competitive advantages and management of intellectual assets allocated to the life cycle of intellectual assets. [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ]. In the foreign literature presents different approaches to the definition of "intellectual capital". Milner said: "Under the intellectual capital to understand the set of intellectual assets, which may include: 1) market assets; 2) intellectual property as an asset (a patent, copyright, trade marks for goods and services); 3) human assets (a set of collective knowledge of employees, their creativity, leadership); 4) infrastructure assets (technology, methods and processes that make possible the work of the enterprise) " [7]. Gava identifies intellectual capital with a personal resource, with an intelligent material, formal, recorded and used for the production of more valuable property [8].
Also relevant is the question of assessment IC. Laureat Nobel Prize and the economy Tobin offered a reliable indicator of intelligence assessment company, namely the coefficient of q, reflecting the ratio of market value to replacement cost [9]. M. Williams suggested that separate evaluation methods IC into 4 groups[10], direct methods, the methods of the market, capitalization, and methods of return on assets, indicator methods.
3.2 Overview of national sources
Office of the IC has been a hot topic of research in Ukraine since 2000. Among the well-known Ukrainian scientists researchers IC issues and intellectual property Kendyuhov, Morozov, Bazilevich, Ilyin, exploring the issues delineated in terms of economics and sociology [11, 12, 13].
Sadowski, and Stetsenko believe that the intellectual capital in the form of knowledge, skills, experience is an integral part of its media - a living human being, intellectual capital is not a negotiable asset [14].
3.3 Overview of local sources
In the Donetsk National Technical University of issue management IC is also investigated.
Malyshko believes that the term "intellectual capital" used "to cover all non-physical or intangible assets and resources of the organization, which usually do not have estimates of its balance sheet (other than intellectual property), ie its processes, innovative ability, tacit knowledge of its members, as well as networking the past " [15].
Zakharova offered special rates and assess the effectiveness of the intensity of investment in human capital at the enterprise level [16].
Kravchenko considered the possibility of a reflection of the intellectual capital in the financial statements of the company, suggested recommendations for improving accounting intellectual capital in the enterprises of Ukraine [17].
4.Management of IC
To study the management of IC companies need to clearly define management objects. In this case – it is the owner of capital, customers, infrastructure, strategy, and infrared components business.
The literature is divided into three components of IC companies:
- human (personal) capital – the knowledge, skills, experience, know-how, creativity, creative way of thinking, values, work culture. [18]. This knowledge that employees take with them when they retire from the company [19];
- the organizational (structural) capital – patents, licenses, know-how, software, trademarks, industrial designs, hardware and software, organizational structure, corporate culture [18]. This knowledge, remain within the firm [19];
- consumer (interface, marketing) capital – includes links to economic partners (suppliers, customers, intermediaries, financial institutions, governments). Information on economic counterparts, the history of relations with them, the brand (brand) [18]. An important component is the business reputation of the company (goodwill), which has a significant role in the overall commercial success of the enterprise.
The highest value is human capital, because it is the basis of the functioning of the entire IC organization and business in general. That person organizes, operates the company producing the product, forms a network of relationships, image, competitive advantage by entering into interaction with other people. In a postindustrial society, the human capital attributes such as knowledge, competence are the key resources of the company. But in the absence of structural and customer capital efficient operation and development of the company possible. It was close, well-established interaction of all three components of the IC is founded the success of the organization.
For effective management of IC is necessary to build a full-scale system that would perform the following tasks:
- improve the competitiveness of business;
- systematic staff development;
- improve the value of human life;
- improvement of business - processes;
- support for management decisions in a strategic, innovative, financial, technological and production management.
There are two basic types of tools to address these problems: formal and informal. By the formal tools include expert control systems, artificial intelligence, automated decision support systems, decision support systems and support systems to work with clients. According to experts, the formal tools are very effective, if necessary to make management decisions in the companies of innovation, financial and consulting areas, which require consideration of a large number of fast external conditions.
Formal tools:
- to codify information and knowledge to save the company in the event of termination of the employee;
- is the foundation of organizational capital, forms the inner structure of the organization;
- particularly effective for solving typical problems [20].
Among the tools of formal support systems emphasize customer relationship (CRM), which are effectively used in many areas of consulting companies and have proved their efficiency in the foreign commercial organizations. This class of systems to automate and improve business - processes in sales, marketing and customer service [21].
Informal intellectual capital management tools have a special role. About 80% of tacit knowledge is lost when employees leave the company if there is no sharing of knowledge within the teams. Experts and researchers recommend the use of the organization of the command type of work for the following reasons:
- a more flexible project management in the medium and large companies (Hackman) an effective exchange of knowledge between different functional units (R.Daft);
- the mutual complementarity of team members based on the presence of common goals and values;
- there are clear roles and leadership team improves efficiency and reduces the risk of intra-organizational conflict (M.Belbin);
- team can significantly improve the competitiveness of the company through a body of knowledge and skills of each member and the synergistic effect of their work (L.Kleeva) [22].
Due to the fact that all companies have different management strategies, organizational structure and vision of its future development in the market, there is no unified system of management of intellectual capital, which would have been most successful in each company.
Management of IC has a recurring character. Cycle of management of IC is illustrated in figure 1:
The most important structural element of the cycle is the evaluation of IC on the basis of which made any further decisions in the field of personnel management. With these estimates of IC organization performs the following tasks:
- timely provision of all stakeholders (both inside the company and outside it), high-quality and reliable information on the status of the intellectual resources of the company as a source of competitive advantage, including a potential increase in the cost of the company;
- investment planning in the IC objects; making decisions about the formation, use and development trends of IC;
- creating new and more powerful competitive advantages of the organization;
- build long-term strategy of the organization in a constantly changing external environment and is used as a communications tool;
- determine the proportion of IC in the total capital of the enterprise.
In order to effectively manage the business – the head of the processes necessary to adhere to clear principles. Based on the well-known principles of financial management principles Management IC built. With respect to intangible resources are converted into assets, raising the total cost of the organization (Table 1).
Table 1 - Principles of managing of financial and intellectual capitals
Principles | Principle of balance | Principle of the strategic direction | Principle of diversification | Principle of monitoring and control | Principle of planning and system |
Financial capital | A balance between profitability and liquidity of enterprise[22]. | A clear strategy of development and investments in order to have a firm position in the market. | Should have diversification of production leads to an overall increase in profitability, reducing the risk of bankruptcy and increase competitiveness. Be able to access and manage. | Regular monitoring quality and structure. | You should risks comparison of processes of asset finance to the development of enterprise activity in certain areas, as well as their possible prospects[24]. |
Human capital | A balance between intake of new qualified staff and the development of existing staff. Investment in human assets to increase their cost of staff development strategy. | Knowledge of data on the number of employees with high potential for professional and managerial skills, whether the company's workers, who quickly react to changing situations. | Forming a personnel reserve procedures and technologies that capture new skills, working methods, functional performance, etc. Create a single information Space, knowledge bases, corporate libraries[23]. | education and professional qualifications, personnel, compared with the personnel industry leaders. Staff turnover. | Preservation and development of corporate culture, corporate memory. Develop guidelines ROI in training staff (contract for training, sharing of risks, etc.). The complex of measures aimed at retaining staff in the company. Protection of human assets [25]. |
