“…Particularly, Rappaport (1987) points out that business performance takes into account the responsibilities and profit maximisation objectives of an organisation, while environmental performance indicates to the environmental responsibilities of an organisation . Additionally, based on previous studies, business performance can be conceptualised with the two aspects of market and financial performance (Menor et al, 2007;Yang et al, 2011;Narasimhan and Kim, 2002). …”

Globalisation has created both drivers and pressure for Chinese organisations to enhance their business performance as well as environmental performance. Green and lean practice is emerging as a critical approach for Chinese organisations to achieve sustainable development and improve organisational performance. By conducting empirical studies from 172 respondents on green and lean practice in different Chinese organisations, this research shows how green and lean practice affects organisational performance and how this association is affected by guanxi. The findings explain that guanxi between organisational partners improves the positive effect of green and lean practice on organisational performance. The results of this paper offer helpful insights into how managers should enhance their guanxi initiatives, in order to improve environmental and business performance over their supply chains. The paper also suggests the limitations of this research, as well as directions for future research.

“…While there has been quite a lot of research on the nature and the components of knowledge and intellectual capital, or IC (e.g., Edvinsson & Malone, 1997;Sveiby, 1997), and some research has shown that an important level of knowledge or IC is apparently correlated with a good performance and innovation (Hsu & Sabherwal, 2011;Menor et al, 2007), it remains unclear how this intellectual capital or knowledge can be gained and to what extent collective institutions can contribute to this in all sectors of activity.…”

Shortened abstract:While traditional neoclassical economics view the individual entrepreneur as source of competitiveness, and the market economy as source of economic growth, it has recently been recognized that collective leadership and entrepreneurial activity are often at least as important. Also, knowledge has replaced physical capital as the main source of competitiveness and creation of a competitive advantage over other firms through networks and knowledge sharing. However, it is often unclear how this knowledge can be gained. Some authors contest the neoclassical individualistic view and consider that networks and industrial clusters can foster such knowledge exchanges. We hypothesized that the IT sector would be interested in collective ways of accessing knowledge, and sought to determine what modes of governance or intermediaries could make this happen.The paper analyzes these intermediaries and their contributions to the IT/multimedia/gaming sector in Montreal, the cluster policy which favors knowledge exchanges, the collective over the individual. However research has not looked into the type of governance of organizations or intermediaries. We thus hypothesized that the IT sector would be interested in collective ways of accessing relational capital and knowledge, and sought to verify if this was the case and if so, what modes of governance or intermediaries could make this happen. The paper analyses these intermediaries and their contributions to the IT/multimedia/gaming sector in Montreal, the cluster policy which favors knowledge exchanges, the collective over the individual.

“…This is the case of the studies published by Brookes et al (2007) and Menor et al (2007) which aim at explaining product innovation performance by means of social capital and knowledge-based resources, respectively. However, Wu et al (2007) represent an exception to this trend, as they adopt a holistic IC perspective in order to explain technological innovation performance.…”

In today’s economy, innovation is considered to be one of the main driving forces behind business competitiveness, if not the most relevant one. Traditionally, the study of innovation has been addressed from different perspectives. Recently, literature on knowledge management and intellectual capital has provided new insights. Considering this, the aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of different organizational conditions – i.e. “structural capital” – on innovation capability and innovation performance, from an “intellectual capital” (IC) perspective. As regards innovation capability, two dimensions are considered: new idea generation and innovation project management. The population subject to study is made up of technology-based Colombian firms. In order to gather information about the relevant variables involved in the research, a questionnaire was designed and addressed to the CEOs of the companies making up the target population. The sample analyzed is made up of 69 companies and is large enough to carry out a statistical study based on structural equation modelling (partial least squares approach) using PLS-Graph software (Chin and Frye, 2003). The results obtained show that structural capital explains to a great extent both the effectiveness of the new idea generation process and of innovation project management. However, the influence of each specific organizational component making up structural capital (organizational design, organizational culture, hiring and professional development policies, innovation strategy, technological capital, and external structure) varies. Moreover, successful innovation project management is the only innovation capability dimension that exerts a significant impact on company performance.
