Structural capital

For investors and lenders, information about structural capital is important in assessing a company. Most structural capital can be used and re-used without diminishing its value. In fact, most structural capital improves with re-use. A database or a process or a design can be improved over time and the more often it is used, the greater is the potential for improvement. The marginal cost of re-using a process is almost zero, which is why structural capital is one of the best investments big dogs can make.
