Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the links between intellectual capital sub-components and organizational performance in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) operating in the electrical and electronics manufacturing sector in Pakistan. Design/methodology/approach -Data were collected through structured questionnaires from a sample of 247 respondents from Pakistani SMEs in Gujranwala and Gujarat. Several tests were used to examine the reliability and validity of the research instrument. Finally, multiple regression analysis was used to test the proposed research hypotheses. Findings -The findings of this study demonstrate that the overall regression model of intellectual capital shows goodness of fit while one component of intellectual capital -namely human capital -appeared insignificant. Subsequently, six out of seven research hypotheses was accepted. Practical implications -This study will provide a valuable framework for entrepreneurs, executives, managers and policy makers in managing intellectual capital within the Pakistani context. Originality/value -To the best knowledge of the authors, this is the first empirical study that has been conducted on SMEs operating in the electrical and electronics manufacturing sector in Pakistan.

“…There is also evidence of a significant impact of knowledge capital on organizational performance (Lööf and Heshmati, 2002). Namvar et al (2010) have proven that intellectual property significantly influences human capital, relational capital and structural capital, which are positively related to firm performance. For gaining more value from knowledge, intellectual property is essential for companies to stay competitive.…”

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of knowledge management (KM) on manufacturing performance and the relationships among three KM measures, namely, knowledge resources, KM processes and KM factors. It also determined a collective set of KM metrics based on these three measures. Design/methodology/approach -Data were collected using questionnaires posted to 700 manufacturing companies in Malaysia from which 206 usable responses were obtained. The analysis and hypotheses testing were implemented using structural equation modeling. Findings -The results showed that the constructs of knowledge resources, KM processes and KM factors have significant and direct effects on manufacturing performance. In terms of covariance, the results also indicated that these three constructs were correlated with each other. Research limitations/implications -The sample over-represented large firms and the study was a cross-sectional approach that collected data at a single point in time.Practical implications -The results obtained would help managers to better understand the linkage between KM and manufacturing performance. They could use the results to manipulate their KM practices to improve their manufacturing performance. The proposed set of KM metrics could also act as a common language and provide directions for future research. Originality/value -This paper is one of the first empirical studies that has examined the relationship between KM and manufacturing performance. Furthermore, it has investigated the relationships among knowledge resources, KM processes and KM factors.

This paper reports the results of an original empirical study of the relationship between intellectual property and the financial performance of technology firms in the bioscience-technology industries. The study found a statistically significant positive relationship between the firms' investments in intellectual property and their performance. The performance measure was based upon revenue-growth data collected from each firm, and the categories of intellectual property analyzed included patents, trade secrets, trademarks, copyright and licenses to externally sourced technology. The study also found that the financial benefits of accumulating a strong intellectual property portfolio were enjoyed by technology firms regardless of whether they were strategically oriented towards R&D or strategically oriented towards the commercial production of products and services. His research and teaching concentrate on the management of intellectual property, technology-based entrepreneurship, and strategic planning for technology-based industry development. He holds doctorates in both strategic management and technology studies, and a master of laws degree in intellectual property law. Professor Willoughby has extensive experience as an educator, researcher, consultant and program leader in the United States, Europe, Asia and Australia, including a variety of university-industry collaboration projects, technology commercialization projects and executive education projects. the production of goods or services-makes any difference to the level and character of the impact of intellectual property on its business performance.
