“…The review of the economic and management literature shows that the notion of knowledge‐based capital is generally adopted as an umbrella concept to denote those regional resources which are intangible in nature and that contribute to create value at regional level (Bontis, 2004; Bounfour and Edvinsson, 2005; Edvinsson, 2002; Malhotra, 2001; Schiuma et al , 2005; Tallman et al , 2004).…”

“…Although the relevance of knowledge as a resource and source of innovation at regional and local level (Carrillo, 2006) is recognized, there is still a lack of understanding of the knowledge‐based dimensions building regional innovation capacity. Indeed, most studies have focused attention on isolated knowledge components, rather than on a holistic view of the knowledge‐based capital building a region's innovation capacity (Bounfour and Edvinsson, 2005).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the role and the relevance of knowledge‐based capital as a strategic resource and a source of regional innovation capacity. The paper identifies human, relational, structural and social capital as the four main knowledge‐based categories building the knowledge‐based capital of a region. The role of each knowledge‐based category in determining regional innovation capacity is analyzed. Specifically, the authors discuss the relationships among the knowledge‐based categories and a regional innovation capacity.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is based on an in‐depth literature review of the knowledge management and regional innovation research stream. The fundamental underlying research questions that have driven the research are: “What are the knowledge‐based capital categories affecting a region's innovation capacity?” and “How do knowledge‐based categories influence regional innovation capacity?”. The paper is conceptual in its nature and aims to delineate a theory‐based framework to drive further empirical research.FindingsThe paper first clarifies the concept of knowledge‐based capital and of regional innovation capacity. These are two key concepts for understanding the role and relevance of the knowledge assets bundles in the creation, development and management of innovation capabilities at regional level. Then the paper explores how knowledge‐based components affect the innovation capacity of a region. This is an issue of great relevance for both theory and practice. From the theory point of view it allows the identification of the main factors characterising the links between knowledge assets and innovation capacity, while from a practical point of view it can provide implications for policy makers for the definition of policies oriented towards the development of regional knowledge asset domains to develop regional innovation capacity.Originality/valueThe paper provides an answer to the need to develop a holistic view of the links between a region's knowledge‐based capital and its innovation capacity. Indeed, most of the studies in the literature have analysed the links between isolated knowledge asset categories and innovation capabilities. The paper, on the basis of a clear definition of knowledge‐based capital and innovation capacity, analyses why regional knowledge foundations make differences in the innovation capacity of regions.

“…NIC implies the articulation of a system of variables which helps to identify and manage a country’s invisible wealth, serving as a root to nourish and cultivate well-being (Bontis, 2004). Many researchers measuring NIC (Bontis, 2004; Bounfour and Edvinsson, 2005; Stefanescu-Mihăilă, 2015) recognize that there is a need to assess this type of resource, and so fundamental methodological orientations begin to emerge in this field (Užienė, 2014; Mačerinskienė and Aleknavičiūtė, 2015). One of those orientations features the identification and classification of IC and its components also in the regional dimension (Nitkiewicz et al , 2014).…”

Back to the future of intellectual capital research: a systematic literature review

Purpose For better mapping the path of intellectual capital (IC) research, the purpose of this paper is to selectively review empirical studies of IC published, and identify theories, components and three dimensions of analysis: national IC (NIC), regional IC (RIC) and organizational IC (OIC). Design/methodology/approach The systematic literature review (SLR) subject to analysis is based on empirical studies made between 1960 and 2016, and focuses on three dimensions of analysis: NIC, RIC and OIC. Four research questions were designed, using the following databases, namely, Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar, for data collection purposes. Findings The SLR unveils a multidimensional taxonomy for measuring and classifying the type of IC applicable to the different levels of analysis and provides some recommendations for future studies of NIC, RIC and OIC, by outlining the need for clear definitions of components and measures of IC and identifying strengths, limitations and future research avenues. Originality/value In order to fill the gap found in the literature and the non-existence of a study clarifying the multiple dimensions of analysis of IC, this SLR makes a twofold, original contribution to the literature on management: providing an SLR of the main empirical studies dealing with different units of analysis; and identifying a multidimensional taxonomy for measuring and classifying the type of IC applicable to the different levels of analysis.

“…According to Stoker (2006), local administration becomes the main actor in the process of creating public value but not the only one (Alford & Hughes, 2008). The components of public value can be identified not only in a tangible dimension but also, and above all, from an intangible dimension (Bounfour & Edvinson, 2012; Bounfour, 2013). In general, the creation of public value means to have a vision for a better future in a variety of different forms, which has been included in several definitions of smart cities (Gil-Garcia et al, 2015).…”

There are three issues that are crucial to advancing our academic understanding of smart cities: (1) contextual conditions, (2) governance models, and (3) the assessment of public value. A brief review of recent literature and the analysis of the included papers provide support for the assumption that cities cannot simply copy good practices but must develop approaches that fit their own situation ( contingency) and concord with their own organization in terms of broader strategies, human resource policies, information policies, and so on ( configuration). A variety of insights into the mechanisms and building blocks of smart city practices are presented, and issues for further research are identified.
