The experts are related to the organizational structural capital subject. Secondly, the model is applied to a knowledge-based company. 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.
