The Theoretical And Methodological Research Of Knowledge Value Measurement

Through analyzing, thoroughly and specifically, the formation mechanism of knowledge value, the classification of knowledge and knowledge value, the theory and method of knowledge value measurement, this paper researched how to measure the knowledge with the attribute of goods, and designed the measure indexes and measure models, in order to set up a set of scientific and operational measure method of knowledge value, to make knowledge value theory more rich. it is the theoretical foundation of the theoretical research of the knowledge goods price and knowledge capitalization, the foundation of the remuneration research of knowledge capital and intellectual, making great contribution for the development of knowledge economics.Knowledge is people's knowledge of subjective and objective world, which exists in human brain, books and other material carriers in the form of experience and theory. The measurement of knowledge value is a piece of research of knowledge value with the attribute of goods, including the measurement indexes, and the measurement models. Knowledge goods are used for exchanging, which is the product of human mental labor and manual labor in the practice. Knowledge goods have value both in exchange and in use. There are two forms of knowledge goods, material knowledge products and intellectual services.The classification of knowledge. According to having the attribute of goods or not, knowledge can be divided in the knowledge which is not goods and knowledge goods. Knowledge is invisible, which can't exist in society until it is carried on something. To measure the value of knowledge properly, according to the carrier, we divide knowledge goods into two forms. One is knowledge in human brain, and the other is knowledge on material carriers. The first kind of knowledge can be called of human capital, which is highly individualized, existing in the brains of skilled worker's and knowledge transmitters. This sort of knowledge can be recognized through media or putting it into practice, such as experience and know-how. The second kind of knowledge is taken on material carrier, and can be divided into two forms: replaceable carrier knowledge and unreplaceable carrier knowledge. The former exists in a certain special form regulated by the society, such as patent technology, and trademark. The latter is stored in those material machines and scientific instruments, which are manufactured on great R&D, such as the computer, Hi-Tech laboratory apparatus. The knowledge integrates with the material carrier .The production of knowledge is random, complicated and original. The factors of the production of knowledge include human resource, equipment and capital, etc., among them the human resource and capital are the most important factors. The production of knowledge includes the discovery of knowledge, the accumulation of knowledge and the creation of knowledge. The spread of knowledge is the assigning process of the knowledge. Knowledge may spread through education, technology trade, the electron and culture. The phases of the spread are knowledge production, knowledge encoding and knowledge spread. The application of knowledge is influenced both by subjective factor and objective factor. This paper has analyzed the application course of human capital and technological products.The value of knowledge has two meaning: First, knowledge is the concentration of producers' mental labor and the manual labor, namely value; Second, knowledge products have the function of meeting people's needs, and it is approved by people, that is use value. Knowledge realizes its value just in the procession of satisfying people's demand. However, the exchange value is determined together by the value and the use value of the knowledge product.The composition of knowledge value. Knowledge value is created by human labor and labor material together. Knowledge value is composed of living labor value, carrier value and shifting value. Living labor value includes intellectual labor value and physical labor value.
