“…Firer and Williams () and Zéghal and Maaloul () argue that IC is necessary for firms in every sector and hence it should be studied across all sectors. Furthermore, Kolachi and Shah () argue that intellectual resources are necessary for all types of firms, whether it is a small firm with 50 employees or a large firm with as many as 50,000 employees. Following these authors, we selected all publicly listed firms on the Australian stock exchange for a period of 10 years (2005–2014) for which data were obtained from the Bloomberg database.…”

“…Linking the argument by Kolachi and Shah () with RB theory that IC is important for every small and large firm in developed as well as developing countries, we use this theory to explain the relationship between overall IC efficiency and FP. As specified by Zéghal and Maaloul () firms can build competitive advantages from the effective use of their strategic resources such as IC assets.…”

This study investigates the dynamic relationship between intellectual capital (IC) and firm performance (FP) through system generalised methods of moments, when previous studies produced divergent results based on static OLS or fixed-effects estimations. Based on 571 listed firms in Australia for the period of 2005-2014 (5518 firm-years) this study reveals that IC efficiency is positively significant with ROA and ROE -which endorses resource-based theory. Further analysis shows that human capital, structural capital and physical capital are also significant and confidently endorse resource-dependency and organisation-learning theories. The findings of this study are vital for stakeholders such as management, shareholders and potential investors to understand the role of IC for FP. Moreover, the findings are particularly important for policy-setters to highlight the importance of IC and develop a systematic framework for IC disclosure. This study also opens new avenues for future research to consider the dynamic nature of the IC-FP relationship and account for endogeneity.

“…Though, IC is crucial for all forms of enterprises, whether public or private, big or small. (Kolachi & Shah, 2013), one benefit of choosing public listed companies is the availability of data for the listed companies. Another benefit is reliability, as the audited reports of firms improves result reliability (Chen, 2005).…”

“…Another benefit is reliability, as the audited reports of firms improves result reliability (Chen, 2005). Kolachi and Shah (2013) argues that intellectual capital is applicable to large companies and small enterprises so this study used data from all manufacturers that have been listed publicly.…”

This research has examined the impact of Intellectual Capital (IC) on performance of the firms in Pakistan while considering political uncertainty as moderating variable. The research used secondary data of firms, related to manufacturing sectors, listed in Karachi Stock Exchange - KSE 100 Pakistan for a ten-year period of 2010-2019. Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC) model by Pulic (1998) has been used to calculate IC and its components and ROA is used to measure firm’s performance. Regression Model has been employed to investigate the hypothetical relationship between IC and firm performance. Results of this paper revealed that CEE and CCE have a positive relationship with the financial performance of firms in Pakistan whereas SCE has negative effect on the financial performance of the firms. Furthermore, the findings suggest political instability as a significant moderating variable on the relationship among intellectual capital, its components and firms’ performance. This research is the first attempt in investigating the relative importance of intellectual capital success of any firm under political uncertainty.

“…According to Kolachi and Shah (2013), the Russian government has been highly active in building a culture adaptable to BRICS activities, providing education with significant investments that foster intellectual capital development. Overall, the Russian government is striving to make its universities number one by investing in R&D.…”

Research capacity building and research productivity are essential to the economic flourishing of any nation. Over the past decade, innovation and investment in research and development in BRICS countries – especially India and China – have strongly contributed to their economic growth. The scholarly literature shows that the five-member states have high numbers of (a) university graduates – especially in the fields of engineering and computer science – and (b) research outputs – mainly quantitative. The issue, however, is that the quality of BRICS graduates is sometimes questionable, and the nations are not considered as relevant global players when it comes to the research impact factor. To that end, it is essential to align quantity with quality in BRICS’ higher education institutions. As growing economies, BRICS need to increase their investment in higher education and research capacity building to maximise their economic prosperity. Researchers who are knowledge producers and innovators can be considered the foremost role players in transferring university research to society. Therefore, investing in quality development and support is of the essence. This article is based on the voices of 32 international scholars affiliated with the Comparative Education Society in Europe. The respondents shared their views via an open-ended survey about: (a) the development of globally competent researchers; (b) the expectations placed on present-day researchers; and (c) the demands researchers face in terms of research productivity. The findings indicate that, regardless of the context, researchers are confronted with similar demands, namely: to secure funding; engage in international and interdisciplinary research projects; and produce tangible outputs. It is also evident that research capacity building at respondents’ respective institutions needs enhancement in order to align with the current research demands.
