“…For instance, IC is the core driver to stand up firms from other firms in a competitive and challenges environment (Jordão & Almeida, 2017; Kamukama, 2013; Kamukama et al, 2011). Studies in this nature have argued that IC has significantly and positively contributed to firms' success and performance (Sanchez‐Gutierrez, Mejia‐Trejo, Vargas‐Barraza, & Vazquez‐Avila, 2016; Wang, Lu, Kweh, & Lai, 2014). However, it is argued that little intellectual capabilities are not sufficient to gain CA.…”

The present research scrutinizes the influence of intellectual capital and financial capital (FC) on the small and medium enterprises' (SMEs) performance with a competitive advantage (CA) as a mediator. A plethora of research has been carried out to test the relationships among intellectual capital (IC), FC, and firm performance (FP) across the globe. However, studies on the CA as a mediator among these variables are rare in SMEs. Moreover, none of the studies of this landscape could be traced in developing countries particularly in Pakistan. This research examines the mediating role of CA between IC and FP as well as between FC and FP. A self-administered survey was used to gather information from 178 registered ventures located in Rawalpindi and Islamabad Regions. The findings of this study display that IC and FC have a significant positive impact on the performance of SMEs, also significant and positive association exists between CA and FP. The path between IC and SMEs performance as well as between FC and SMEs performance is significantly mediated by the CA. The results recommend that SMEs should give attention to both IC and FC to sustain their position in the competitive markets.

Intellectual capital (IC) is generally understood as an important driver of firm competitiveness improvement and value generation in the knowledge economy. The manufacturing industry, the backbone of the South Korean economy, is coming under increasing international pressure. In order to increase the competitiveness of Korean industry, the main objective of this paper is to examine the impact of IC and its components on the performance of Korean manufacturing firms over the period 2013-2018. The modified and extended Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC) model was adopted to more accurately measure IC, and firm performance was systematically and comprehensively measured in three distinct parameters: profitability, productivity and market value. Our regression results show that physical capital was the most influential factor to firm performance; human capital was viewed as a performance enhancing measure; structural capital had no significant impact on firm performance; and innovation capital and relational capital hurt a firm's profitability. It is also evident that the modified and extended VAIC model performs better than the original VAIC model proposed by Pulic (1998). This study extends the understanding of IC in achieving a competitive edge in the manufacturing sector, with IC representing a valuable platform for the sustainable development of the manufacturing sector in emerging Asian markets.

“…This research allows us to support a number of researches carried out in Mexico that have analysed the relationship between intellectual capital and organisational performance (Heredia and González, 2010;Mejía et al, 2014;De la Garza et al, 2015;Sánchez-Gutiérrez et al, 2016;Ibarra-Cisneros and Hernandez-Perlines, 2018). The conclusions are heterogeneous, but by and large, they conclude the existence of this relation in different sectors of the economy and in a particular way, with certain dimensions of IC.…”

At present, the role of intellectual capital in organisations is significantly more important than in the past owing to the transition from an economy based on assets to another based on knowledge. The value of intangible assets increases as that of tangible assets decreases; this allows organisations, which prioritise intellectual capital, to produce competitive advantages and achieve better performance. The purpose of this paper is to ascertain if human capital, structural capital and relational capital have a positive influence on the organisational performance of medium-sized firms in the Mexican manufacturing sector. Moreover, it is analysed if competitive advantage mediates the relation between intellectual and organisational performance. Data were obtained from a survey sent to 309 CEOs of Mexican manufacturing firms. In order to test the research hypotheses, the construct validity was tried by means of face, content, convergent, nomological and discriminant validity, for which techniques such as exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis using SPSS and AMOS, respectively, were resorted to. Later on, Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was applied using software SmartPLS. Results showed that the three dimensions of intellectual capital have a positive and significant influence on organisational performance. Furthermore, competitive advantage mediates the relation between intellectual capital and organisational performance.
