“…The combination of text-mining tools and qualitative interpretive analytics of the key research topics and the most impactful papers within each of them allowed a ho-РЖМ 18 (3): 433-456 (2020) listic picture of the critical advancements and trends in IC-related studies. This study, on the one hand, has advocated the majority of previously known results by [Serenko, Bontis, 2013;Inkinen, 2015;Snyder, 2019;Bellucci et al, 2020]. On the other hand, it has brought new insights into the new areas of improvement in the field of IC and corporate performance.…”

“…For a better understanding of the evolution and further development of the knowledge on intangible-driven performance, the complex structural literature review must be a valuable contribution. Despite several attempts carrying out literature reviews on intellectual capital and related corporate performance like those by [Serenko, Bontis, 2013;Inkinen, 2015;Snyder, 2019;Bellucci et al, 2020], the holistic picture is far from being completed. It makes this research field eclectic and not systematically studied.…”

The study offers a structural literature review on the twenty years the evolution of the fast-growing research topic of intellectual capital (IC) and intangible-driven performance. Despite a rather short independent history, the IC concept has undergone a substantial transformation, bringing to the discussion vast empirical and methodological literature. Several endeavors carrying out literature review studies could only partially satisfy the needs of the systematization of the relevant research. Hence, there is still a large room for such kind of analysis due to the increasing number of new papers published in the area and puzzle of IC-related sophistications. To draw a holistic picture of the landscape of IC and associated corporate performance, this study departures from the mixed research methodology embracing elements of machine-learning tools and in-depth qualitative interpretation of obtained results and critical discussion of the most influential studies in the field. Our findings demonstrate that four professional outlets selected for the examination have generated four relatively isolated research topics: “Human capital and performance”, “Knowledge sharing, organizational learning: processes that drive performance”, “IC and knowledge management for business performance”, “Measurement, disclosure of IC and knowledge for business performance”. All these research lines are welcomed by all leading journals in the field, having high potential to create a dense flow of conceptual and empirical contributions and practical value for a knowledge-intensive business.

“…Databases, procedure manuals, organisational maps, routines, methods and all that renders the company's worth greater than its material worth are included in this scenario. SC derives from the structures and principles of the business, representing external emphasis and value creation for the future (Bellucci et al, 2020). Studies by Habibah and Riharjo (2016), Silvia and Maftukhah (2018) and Ulfi et al (2019) affirmed that SCVA has a positive and vital effect on the financial performance and firm value of the business.…”

The effect of intellectual capital on financial performance was investigated in this paper for the period 2008 to 2019. A total of 696 observations were generated from data collected from 56 general insurance companies in 12 years. The Value Added Intelligent Coefficient Model was used and data was analysed using both static (two stage least square, fixed and random effect) and dynamic panel regression analysis (two step system generalised method of moments). The findings showed a significant and direct relationship between lagged return on assets, intellectual capital and financial performance of insurers in the South African Development Community. Out of the components of intellectual capital, human capital and structural capital are significantly and directly related with return on assets while capital employed is inversely and insignificantly related with return on assets. The control variables-underwriting risk, insurer size and leverage are all inversely and significantly affecting return on assets. Thus, a U-shape relationship exists between intellectual capital and financial performance in general insurance companies in the South African Development Community. Thus, the policy makers-cum-insurers' managers should maximise their intellectual capital as this creates competitive advantage that leads to financial performance drive and wealth generation. The Model used in this study is an important model decision-makers can use to assimilate intellectual capital in their decision-making procedures. This will inadvertently permit insurers to scale themselves according to the intellectual capital efficiencies and advance in strategies that will boost their company's financial performance.

“…The field of IC research has flourished in recent decades, and for a quarter century scholars recognize the importance that IC plays in business success (Edvinsson and Malone, 1997; Bellucci et al ., 2020). IC is a concept which includes all of the non-tangible aspects of value which are necessary for businesses to function, including personnel and their training (human capital), the personal relationships amongst employees and constituents (relational capital), and structural capital (such as intellectual property, information systems and organizational capital) (Stewart, 1997; Bamel et al ., 2020).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the role of intellectual capital and knowledge management in the entrepreneurial success of firms through a research model which is subsequently tested empirically.Design/methodology/approachThe paper utilises the knowledge-based perspective to formulate three sets of hypotheses which the authors subsequently test in the empirical analysis on data derived from the Orbis database, which includes over 1-million data points from approximately 240,000 firms across 174 geographic subdivisions of economic regions in 14 European countries, from 2010 to 2013. The analysis utilises probit model regressions on the likelihood of becoming a high-growth firms (HGF), in the presence of a number of control factors including firm age, firm size, tangible assets, foreign ownership, competitiveness (via Herfindahl index), return on assets, industry sector and country location.FindingsFindings from our analysis suggest that investments in intangible assets and generating patents from research and development (R&D) efforts is positively related to the likelihood of becoming a HGF. In addition, cluster membership seems to be a positive influence on becoming a HGF, however the moderating impact of intangible investments and patents is less clear in clusters.Research limitations/implicationsThe authors highlight the mixed effects from cluster membership and the beneficial impact from intellectual capital and knowledge management in achieving high growth firm status.Originality/valueThe authors derive and test our research model, which outlines the interrelationship of the various factors leading to firms becoming high-growth firms. The results suggest that there may be further fruitful ground for future investigation in the intersections of knowledge management and intellectual capital concepts within entrepreneurial contexts.
