“…Even though the core concepts in the field of knowledge management and intellectual capital (KM/IC) have been around for just over a decade, the multi‐disciplinary perspectives within the discipline make it an attractive and productive area of study. The KM/IC area has its own conceptualizations (Stewart, 1991; Bontis, 1999; Bontis, 2001a), theories (Grant, 2002; Serenko et al , 2007), refereed journals (Bontis and Serenko, 2009; Serenko and Bontis, 2009), academic courses (Bontis et al , 2006, 2008), and productivity rankings and citation impact measures (Gu, 2004a, b; Serenko and Bontis, 2004), which are considered critical attributes of an academic domain. The eventual goal is to establish a unique identity of KM/IC as a scholarly field and to gain recognition among peers, university officials, research granting agencies, and industry professionals.…”

Purpose-The purpose of this study is to conduct a scientometric analysis of the body of literature contained in 11 major knowledge management and intellectual capital (KM/IC) peer-reviewed journals. Design/methodology/approach-A total of 2,175 articles published in 11 major KM/IC peer-reviewed journals were carefully reviewed and subjected to scientometric data analysis techniques. Findings-A number of research questions pertaining to country, institutional and individual productivity, cooperation patterns, publication frequency, and favourite inquiry methods were proposed and answered. Based on the findings, many implications emerged that improve one's understanding of the identity of KM/IC as a distinct scientific field. Research limitations/implications-The pool of KM/IC journals examined did not represent all available publication outlets, given that at least 20 peer-reviewed journals exist in the KM/IC field. There are also KM/IC papers published in other non-KM/IC specific journals. However, the 11 journals that were selected for the study have been evaluated by Bontis and Serenko as the top publications in the KM/IC area. Practical implications-Practitioners have played a significant role in developing the KM/IC field. However, their contributions have been decreasing. There is still very much a need for qualitative descriptions and case studies. It is critically important that practitioners consider collaborating with academics for richer research projects. Originality/value-This is the most comprehensive scientometric analysis of the KM/IC field ever conducted.

“…Direct and indirect effects are calculated by AMOS. Mediation is observed if the coefficient of the direct path between the independent variable and the dependent variable is reduced when the indirect path via the mediator is introduced into the model (Bontis et al, 2007). The indirect effect can be estimated by the product of direct effect (β value) of independent variable on mediator variable and direct effect of mediator variable on dependent variable (Cheung, 2007(Cheung, , 2009MacKinnon, 2000).…”

Understanding of enablers which dynamically configure the organisational capabilities of change and adaptation in the current hypercompetitive environment constitutes a key research agenda for researchers in strategic management. Based on data obtained from 216 senior executives from Indian pharmaceutical industry, this paper shows how the constructs of alternate economic logic, strong future focus and flexible intent configure the attributes of robustness and resilience in organisations. This paper therefore reviews and examines the themes of resilience and robustness and its impact on organisational change capability to drive competitive advantage by using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The study resulted in useful insights into the field of factors contributing to robustness, resilience and change, leading to superior performance which is an indicative of competitive advantage. The contribution of this research is significant as it will guide strategy practitioners to synergistically configure their organisations with attributes of robustness and resilience for competitive advantage.

“…Academic self-efficacy has been explored by numerous scholars, and it is important for a number of reasons directly related to assessment methods. Self-efficacy is referred to overall classroom performance (Bandura, 1986;Bontis et al, 2008;Schunk, 1984), and to the depth of involvement students feel in a particular subject (Betz and Schifano, 2000). Self-efficacy beliefs have been associated with reduced stress for learners (Griffin and Griffin, 1998;Newby-Fraser and Schlebush, 1997) and increased motivation to acquire skills and knowledge (Pajares and Graham, 1999).…”

The purpose of this paper is twofold. The first is to present the structure of an undergraduate course entitled "Business Policy and Strategic Management" taught at the DeGroote School of Business, McMaster University. The second is to answer four research questions that are of interest to instructors developing and delivering similar courses. After analysing the performance of 1551 students in a fourth-year course, several insights are offered, including the suggested use of Multiple-Choice Tests (MCTs) as the most accurate measure of student achievement.
