It has now become the key factor in determining whether or not organizations gain competitive advantage.

The findings from this project show that IC disclosure by companies listed in the KLSE is still at a premature stage, only 28.3% of the sample chosen disclosed IC related terms.

Also the disclosure of IC related terms did not co-relate with company size.
