    International Journal of Computing and Corporate Research IJCCR India BALANCE SHEET OF THE NEXT MILLENNIUM – PERSPECTIVE, POSSIBILITIES AND PROBLEMS Shirish Raibagkar, Professor, Institute of Business Management & Rural Developments MBA Centre, Ahmednagar, Maharashtra, India. Abstract ‘What gets measured gets managed.’ Guided by this powerful performance improvement thought, this article tries to set up a framework for understanding the problems faced by organizations in measuring intangible assets. Very few organizations like Infosys have been valuing their intangible assets and have been publishing what may be called as the “balance sheet of the next millennium.” Taking clue from this balance sheet this is an attempt to appreciate the importance of valuing intangible assets and also in understanding practical problems and possibilities associated with it. Keywords: Balance Sheet, Intangible Assets, Measurement Introduction ‘What gets measured, gets managed.’ This idea has been hailed as one of the brilliant ideas in the field of performance improvement, be it personal, professional or organizational. Despite great utility, unfortunately it has been observed, that measurement of intangible assets doesn’t happen at all in most of the business organizations. It is indeed a paradox that while it has been accepted that human resources, for instance, are the most important asset for any business, there is hardly any attempt in practice to measure them. Why? What are the key issues that are acting as hindrances in translating this amazing theoretical concept of measurement into a practical application? This article intends to develop a framework for understanding these hindrances by way of a comprehensive study of the problems faced by organizations of different types– corporate, non-profit, small and medium 1 International Journal of Computing and Corporate Research IJCCR India enterprises, government organization etc, in measuring and reporting its intangible assets.
