The purpose of this paper is to describe intellectual capital and IC elements and also to present a review of some of the most commonly known intellectual capital models.

The second section focuses on importance of measuring intellectual capital and commonly known IC measurement models. For this, a wide review of literature was made. In almost every created intellectual capital measurement model, elements of IC are defined in three dimensions; i.e. human capital, customer capital and structural capital.
