Manufactured and Intellectual Capital
Our systems and processes are seamless and are always updated to keep pace with changes in technology and the needs of our employees and clients.
Our Company is propelled by knowledge generation and the cultivation of an innovative spirit. This is why in the context of solutions by stc, the interconnections between manufactured and intellectual capitals are strong.
Manufactured capital refers to human-created, production-oriented buildings, equipment and tools etc., that help in the manufacture of goods and services. While solutions by stc has state-of-the-art offices scattered across the Kingdom, most aspects that conventionally fall under manufactured capital are not applicable to the operations of the Company. solutions by stc collaborates with its 150+ partners to provide ICT solutions for businesses and industries in the Kingdom.
Therefore, its intellectual capital which encompasses both tangible and intangible aspects of a business such as improvements made to products, and research and development for the smooth operation of the value chain play a more significant role in the operations of the Company.
