The article is devoted to the analysis of the essence of the intellectual content of green growth in the framework of the global course of mankind for sustainable development. The gradual transition in scientific works from information economy and knowledge economy to intellectual economy, which is characterized by directing human intellectual activity to environmentally friendly activities aimed at achieving global goals of sustainable development, has been analyzed. It has been noted that the intellectual economy is the foundation of green growth and the importance of knowledge, skills, theoretical and practical competencies, creativity, which act as a driver of development of green sectors of the economy has been highlighted. It has been determined that there are nine types of human capital, of which the intellectual plays a leading role at the present stage of development of socio-economic processes. In the conditions of building a green economy, capital acquires green features, which is manifested through green intellectual capital, the main components of which are green human capital, green organizational capital and green relational capital. The interaction of green human and green organizational capital forms green relational capital, which is expressed in the form of green jobs, inclusiveness and gender equality. It has been noted that in the long run the development of green intellectual capital leads to the effect of decoupling, which is manifested in the gap between indicators of economic prosperity and environmental degradation. That is why strategies for the development of green intellectual capital should be the basis for the development of countries around the world to achieve global goals of sustainable development in terms of green growth.

The main goal of this article is to analyze the level of differentiation of awareness and knowledge among managers of small, medium and large enterprises in the scope of the essence and meaning of intellectual capital as well as the influence of its elements on the sustainable development of enterprises in Poland. Intellectual capital is perceived as a key resource of an enterprise. It is also one of the most valuable resources of an enterprise, which enables its sustainable development. It is critical base of organization’s innovative and strategic sustainability. This article is based around the results of a survey conducted in 2019 among 1,067 enterprises operating in Poland. For the purposes of the verification of the statistical hypothesis, the classical chi-squared test of independence has been applied along with the analysis of variations for fuzzy numbers (FANOVA) with an assumed level of significance α = 0.05. The assessment of the influence of the elements of intellectual capital on the sustainable development of enterprises has been conducted with the application of fuzzy conversion scales. In fuzzy conversion scales, points are most often expressed as triangular or trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. The conducted research indicates a difference between theory and practice in the field of intellectual capital management among enterprises in Poland. On the one hand managers declare awareness of the importance of the influence of intellectual capital on the development of enterprises in Poland, whereas on the other hand, a significant majority of them state that they have not implemented an intellectual capital management strategy at their enterprises and neither identify nor measure this capital or its elements.

Pastaraisiais metais darnus vystymasis tampa viena populiariausių ir ambicingiausių visuomenės raidos ideologijų. Socialinių, ekonominių ir aplinkosauginių iniciatyvų harmonija organizacijos kontekste yra sudėtingas procesas, vedantis prie visiškai naujos XXI amžiaus verslo formuluotės. Tačiau darni organizacija nėra savaiminis reiškinys; jai įgyvendinti būtina sukurti tinkamas sąlygas: identifikuoti darnos iniciatyvų organizacijoje veiksnius, juos skatinančią ir palaikančią vadybos sistemą, nuolat juos plėtoti ir tobulinti. Intelektinio kapitalo svarba, nuolatinis mokymasis, dalijimasis žiniomis yra priskiriami prie veiksnių, lemiančių darnų organizacijos vystymąsi, tačiau požiūris į žinių vadybą kaip į visus įvardytus veiksnius jungiančią vadybos sistemą nėra visiškai suformuluotas. Nėra apibrėžtas ir žinių vadybos raiškos būdų bei darnaus organizacijos vystymosi veiksnių tarpusavio ryšys. Šio straipsnio tikslas – nustatyti organizacijos žinių vadybos ir darnaus vystymosi sąsajas, sukurti darnios žinių organizacijos modelį.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: žinių vadyba, žinių organizacija, žinių kultūra, darnus vystymasis, darni organizacija, intelektinis kapitalas.Knowledge Management Influence on Implementing Sustainable Development Means in OrganizationsZenona Ona Atkočiūnienė, Renata Radiunaitė SummaryRecently, sustainable development has become one of the most popular and ambitious ideologies of the evolution of society. The harmony of social, economic and environmental initiatives in the context of organization is a very difficult process which leads to a completely different business formula of the 21st century.However, a sustainable organization is not a self-phenomenon. In order to implement it, proper conditions need to be created: identification of factors that influence sustainable initiatives in the organization, establishment of a managerial system that promotes and supports these factors, and their continuous development and refinement. The intellectual property, knowledge sharing and continuous competence improvement are labelled as elements influencing the sustainable development of an organization. These elements are also significant factors in knowledge management, although no direct correlation has been found between sustainable development and knowledge management. The aim of the article is to identify connections between knowledge management and sustainable development in an organization and to create the model of a sustainable knowledge organization. In order to adjust to the continuously changing environment and to develop proper competencies for the increasing needs of sustainable society, an organization needs to implement knowledge management concurrently with the evolution of the concept of sustainable development, because sustainability itself implicates the ability to adapt to global changes.Keywords: knowledge management, knowledge organization, knowledge culture, sustainable development, sustainable knowledge organization, intellectual capital.

In the modern, knowledge-based economy, it is believed that mastering the methods and tools for assessing intellectual capital and capitalizing on intellectual capital influence on economic performance are essential criteria. In addition, it has been prompted that the key issues specific to performance are directly related to those of intellectual capital measurement, having to respond to the challenges of a new economy and sustainable world, built through alliances not only locally, regionally, and nationally, but also internationally – only from this perspective being able to approach performance and the idea that, in time, performance will have the potential to lead to the necessary, but sinuous and difficult road, to excellence. This chapter explores this in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals.

Subject. The article addresses the need to develop new methodological tools for assessing threats to and opportunities of sustainable development of business entities, enabling to adequately reflect their activities in the analysis of their interaction in rapidly changing economic conditions. Objectives. The aim is to underpin a methodological approach to the formation of indicators for assessing the sustainable development of business entities in the face of grand challenges, which rests on the grouping of indicators according to the type of economic development. Methods. The study draws on resource-oriented approach, which we developed and tested in the economic analysis of sustainable development of business entities, and statistical methods. Results. Based on the methods of cognitive and resource-oriented analysis, we defined a set of basic indicators, characterizing the intellectual capital. The implementation of the methodological approach enabled to identify two baseline indicators of intellectual capital involved in the formation of a Grand Challenge, i.e. the number of computers with access to global information networks and the cost of patents and licenses for inventions, industrial designs, utility models. We developed and evaluated integrated indicators of intellectual capital to determine the possibilities of sustainable development of economic entities of the Russian Federation. Conclusions. The offered approach helps define a set of indicators of different types of capital to be included in the integrated reporting and analysis of possibilities of economic entities’ sustainable development in the face of grand challenges. The produced set of indicators is basic and may change.

In this study, the Value Added Intellectual Capital (VAICTM) and Modified Value Added Intellectual Capital (MVAICTM) models are utilized to analyze intellectual capital (IC) performance of the textile industry in China and South Korea during 2012–2017, and measure the contribution of IC sub-components to companies’ performance. The results show that the aggregate IC positively affects earnings, profitability, and productivity of textile companies in China and South Korea. At the sub-components level, the contribution of capital employed efficiency (CEE) is the largest, followed by structural capital efficiency (SCE), and relational capital efficiency (RCE) in China’s textile industry. In addition, Korea’s textile industry relies heavily on CEE and human capital efficiency (HCE), while the contribution of RCE is relatively small. Finally, relevant policies are put forward to promote the sustainable development of the textile industry in these two emerging markets.
