Capital Employed 1. The total amount of capital used for the acquisition of profits. 2. The value of all the assets employed in a business. 3. Fixed assets plus working capital. 4. Total assets less current liabilities. Notes: This is a term that is frequently used, but very difficult to define. Primarily because there is no agreement as to how it should be calculated.All definitions generally refer to the investment required for a business to function. See also: Capital, Working Capital |

| IBM Forest and Paper Innovation Center, part of IBM Business Consulting Services, is celebrating its first year of operation by demonstrating how an on-demand business model can increase the after tax return on capital employed (ROCE) in the forest industry from a typical 5% up to as high as 22%. This pressures senior management to ensure that financial management methods are in place to optimize returns on capital employed commensurate with the risks taken--from insurance, credit and market risks to operational and strategic risks. The broadest and best definition, however, and the second example, is return on capital employed (ROCE). |
