The purpose of this paper is to design and implement a structural capital model in knowledge-based companies. The research is developed based on qualitative and quantitative research methods.

Therefore, the re-searcher-made questionnaire is used to assess the status of structural capital in the knowledge-based company. So, the reliability was estimated at 0.94%. This paper presents a model for measuring structural capital in knowledge-based companies.
