Answer 1

Answer:

Intellectual Capital

An employee at an organisation can be sought after by others as a result of their intellectual property or prowess. This intellectual property is based on business skills, training and knowledge among others provided by the employee that gives their employers some form of competitive advantage over other organisations.

Che's current company has been able to come up with new products and patents as a result of knowledge and skills brought to the company by Che. This is Che's intellectual capital or intellectual property which is currently being valued at her current organisation and sought after by others.

Intellectual capital also has some subsets and they include instructional capital, human capital and even information capital among others.
