This book proposes a 4capital framework as to study determinants of best performance for individuals, organizations and countries. The 4capital theory believes that an optimal combination of material capital, intellectual capital, social capital and spiritual capital is what produces best performance.

We define spiritual capital as the power, influence and dispositions created by a person or an organization's spiritual belief, knowledge and practice, as cited by many.

For material capital, intellectual capital, and social capital, we have adopted some widely accepted definitions, But, we have created our own unique measurements and assessment methods, for which data sciene and artificial intellegence have been utilized and will continuously be utilized to assist.



 

 

4Capital => life satisfaction of individuals 

 

4Capital => organizational performance 

 

4Capital => country development
