  • Abstract
    The human-capital-intensive firms whose critical resource is human capital are changing the situation of the business, and have become an important new firm model. This paper analyzes the differences of characters between human-capital-intensive firms and physical-capital-intensive firms from four aspects: the critical resources of the firm, the control over employees, management issues and boundary problems.
