The role of program-oriented approach to management is justified, as one of the possible promising ways of intellectual capital management tools development on a systematic basis. Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty stems from the fact that the obtained results, in particular, the structure of the intellectual capital management tools system and the trends of tools development, allow for extending the knowledge about the regional tools development in the emerging knowledge-based economy from the point of intellectual capital theory and for developing approaches to the region intellectual capital management.
