PurposeThe prime intention of this study is to examine the influence of intellectual capital (IC) on the financial performance of Indian companies listed on Standard and Poor Bombay Stock Exchange Sensitive Index (BSE SENSEX).Design/methodology/approachThe study employs the data of 30 most significant and most prominent companies of India listed on BSE SENSEX for 10 years from 2009–2010 to 2018–2019. Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAICTM) methodology developed by Pulic (2000) was employed for measuring the efficiency of the IC.FindingsThe efficiency of IC is substantially and positively associated with the financial performance of the Indian companies as measured by return on assets (ROA), market-to-book (MB) ratio and return on equity (ROE). Amongst the three dimensions of VAIC, capital employed efficiency (CEE) was the most vital element in contributing to the firm financial performance, followed by human capital efficiency (HCE). Structural capital efficiency (SCE) only helps in enhancing the ROA of Indian firms.Research limitations/implicationsThe study results are only restricted to the 30 companies of India listed on S&P BSE SENSEX Index. Thus generalization of the result needs especial caution.Originality/valueThe study fills the void in the current literature of IC and business performance and extends the understanding of their relationship by providing empirical evidence.

The redesign of administrative strategic processes and polices from the root to realize the value added in the organization is called re-engineering approach, where the employees who have the knowledge, intellectual ability and skills that give them the ability to innovate and achieve the objectives of the organization, is called intellectual capital efficiency.     Knowing the importance of an intellectual capital efficiency of the company and its contribution to provide the requirements of applying re-engineering in the company and its ability to motivate the company to implement this approach, Is important and vital. This study aims to identify the impact of intellectual capital efficiency in re-engineering on industrial firms listed on the Amman Stock Exchange ASE. To achieve this goal, the researcher measured the intellectual capital efficiency by Pulic model, and the business re-engineering through a questionnaire to measure three themes related to re-engineering, the business, extent of support the company's management to apply the business re-engineering approach, the availability of the requirements of re-engineering, and the extent of applying the reengineering approach. The study sample consisted from 50 industrial companies listed on the ASE, during the study period (2014- 2017), the study used SPSS and Excel to identify the descriptive characteristics of the variables of the study, and analysis the data, and it was also used regression analysis to test the hypotheses of the study. Study results concluded that intellectual capital efficiency positively impact in supporting the company's management to apply the business re-engineering approach in the industrial companies listed on ASE, and the results also showed that the intellectual capital efficiency positively impact in the providing of the business re-engineering requirements in these companies, finally, the study finds that intellectual capital efficiency positively impact in the applying the business reengineering approach in these companies. The study recommended to increase the interest for intellectual capital and business reengineering, and the study also recommended to increase awareness among workers in the accounting departments of the importance of the subject of intellectual capital efficiency and business reengineering.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to empirically examine the effect of intangible resources, i.e. intellectual capital (IC) on financial performance of 64 Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) operating in 18 different countries for the period 2007-2011, while controlling for firm-specific variables, namely, bank size, level of risk, listing status, and firm complexity. Design/methodology/approach The required data to calculate different constituents of IC are derived from Bankscope database. Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC) methodology devised by Pulic is used to determine the impact of IC on financial performance of IFIs. Findings Results indicate a significant positive relationship between VAIC and accounting performance based on return on assets (ROA). The results further indicate a significant positive relationship between accounting performance and capital employed efficiency (CEE) and human capital efficiency (HCE), but no significant relationship with regards to structural capital efficiency. Overall, the results suggest that value creation capability of IFIs is highly influenced by HCE and CEE. Research limitations/implications The main limitation of the present study lies in its methodological tool, the VAIC methodology, which has been criticized by some researchers as not really measuring IC. Despite the inherent limitation of the VAIC methodology which relies on secondary data published in annual reports, it is still considered by some researchers as one of the best available tool to measure firms’ IC in the absence of access to detailed internal information on IC. Practical implications The findings may serve as a useful input for Islamic bankers in managing their investments in IC within their institutions. Originality/value The main contribution of this paper is to use a previously little-studied area, Islamic banking and finance, to identify the effect of intellectual capital on performance.

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the intellectual capital–financial performance relationship using two models, namely the conventional Value-Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC) model and the adjusted Value-Added Intellectual Coefficient (A-VAIC) model.Design/methodology/approachThis study is designed as a quantitative research focusing on the relationship between intellectual capital and financial performance of the banking industry in Indonesia. As many as 114 data are derived from the publicly listed banks on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period of 2012–2017. The multiple regression analysis is employed to test the hypotheses studied.FindingsIn general, the result confirms that intellectual capital affects financial performance. Although not all hypotheses of the study are supported by either the VAIC model or the A-VAIC model, the results provide a deeper and new insight on how each component of intellectual capital efficiency (human capital, structural capital, capital employed, innovation capital) relates to financial performance (return on asset, return on equity, asset turnover, price to book ratio). The results also justify that further improvements in measuring intellectual capital are still needed in the future.Research limitations/implicationsThis study limits its generalization since the sample is only in the Indonesian banking industry. Notwithstanding the limitation, the results imply that the Indonesian banking managers need to be aware of intellectual capital management because of its strategic role in enhancing financial performance.Practical implicationsThis study contributes to the intellectual capital literature by providing empirical evidence on the use of both models, namely the conventional VAIC and the A-VAIC in the Indonesian banking industry research setting which is never been studied before.Social implicationsThis study has the social implication to the enhancement of the quality life of the society. The higher the quality of intellectual capital in the banking firms, the better the banks serve the needs of the community.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the IC literature by providing empirical research on the use of the VAIC model and the A-VAIC model in the Indonesian banking industry.

This paper aims at examining the effect of the Value Added by Intellectual Capital (VAIC) in terms of its three components: capital employed efficiency, human capital efficiency, and structure capital efficiency on the financial performance of commercial banks listed on the Amman Stock Exchange for the period 2010–2018.Value Added of Intellectual Capital (VAIC) model was used to measure the intellectual capital while Tobin’s Q ratio was used as an indicator of bank financial performance. The study has used parametric techniques like multiple linear regression and correlation coefficient, and other statistical methods to investigate its hypothesis. It was found that only human capital efficiency and capital employed efficiency had impacts on the banks’ financial performance. These results emphasize the importance of using the VAIC model to evaluate the financial performance of these banks, as well as encourage banks to make further investments in intellectual capital’s components, and concentrate on human resources to build up their knowledge, skills and capabilities, because of their greatest role in value creation.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore and compare the extent of intellectual capital (IC) and its four components among ASEAN countries, and examine the relationship between firms’ IC, market value, and financial performance. Design/methodology/approach – The study uses the data of 213 technology firms listed on five ASEAN stock exchanges. Pulic’s Value Added Intellectual Coefficient model is modified by adding an extra component, namely, relational capital efficiency (RCE). The Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA and multiple regression analysis have been utilized to test the hypotheses. Findings – The results reveal that there is no significant difference in Modified Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (MVAIC) across five ASEAN countries; however, firms in each country tend to place a different degree of emphasis on components of MVAIC to generate corporate value. The results further indicate a positive relationship between IC and market value, confirming that firms with greater IC tend to have greater market value. Likewise, a positive relationship between IC and financial performance measures is confirmed. Specifically, IC is found to be positively associated with margin ratio and return on assets. Capital employed efficiency and human capital efficiency are found to be the most influential value drivers for both market value and financial performance while structural capital efficiency and relational capital efficiency possess less importance. Originality/value – This study contributes to the IC literature by expanding our knowledge of IC in the emerging economies, and providing a national comparative IC research when such research is limited.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to inspect the effect of intellectual capital (IC) on the financial performance (FP) of Indian banks. Design/methodology/approach The study uses the data of 58 Indian banks, namely, 20 nationalised banks, 17 private Indian banks and 21 private foreign banks, for the period between 2009 and 2018. A modified value-added intellectual coefficient methodology was used for measuring the efficiency of the IC. Findings The efficiency of IC significantly enhances the profitability and productivity of the Indian banks. Overall, human capital is the most substantial component of IC in augmenting the profitability and productivity of the Indian banking industry. Structural capital and physical capital are vital only for improving profitability while the contribution of relational capital towards the banks’ FP is nominal. The result also shows that amongst the three categories of Indian banks, private foreign banks are most efficient in leveraging their IC. Research limitations/implications The study results are only restricted to Indian banks and the data of only 58 banks are used for drawing the inferences. Originality/value The paper fills the void in the existing literature of IC and corporate FP by using the data set of Indian banks divided into the public sector, private Indian and private foreign banks.

Nowadays, the rapid development of information, communication and information technology increases the importance of information. The concept of knowledge management for businesses is becoming the biggest competitive element of the business and the prospect of intangible assets is steadily increasing. This situation gives priority to the concept of intellectual capital, which contributes the most to the value of the enterprises. In the literature, there are many studies on the relationship between intellectual capital concept and firm financial performance, and these studies generally focus on how intellectual capital is calculated. Human capital, structural capital and customer capital, which are the elements of the intellectual capital concept, are more prominent in the banking sector than the service producing sectors and are more evident than the company performance. The aim of our work is to examine the effect of intellectual capital on banks operating in Turkey and whose stocks are traded on the Stock Exchange Istanbul. In this context, the Intellectual Value Added Coefficient (VAIC) method developed by Ante Pulic was used to calculate the intellectual capital of the banks. In our study, the data of 13 banks under independent supervision during the period of 2009-2016 were analyzed by panel data analysis method and the relationship between intellectual capital and profitability of the banks, profitability of assets, net profit margin and equity profitability ratios were tested. As a result of the analysis made, a positive relationship was found between the intellectual capital of the banks and the financial performance.

The main objective of current study is to investigate the relationship between intellectual capital and corporate financial performance of 34 from 48 companies listed on Palestine Exchange (PEX) over the period of 2012-2018. Pulic’s method “Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC)” is utilized to measure the Intellectual Capital (IC), and three of traditional accounting tools involving; return on equity (ROE), return on assets (ROA), and earning per share (EPS) ratios is used as a proxy of firm financial performance. The findings of Panel data model show that human capital efficiency (HCE) is consider as the most effective element of intellectual capital in the issue of value creation than structural capital and capital employed. Moreover, VAIC shows a good relationship with financial performance represented by return on assets (ROA). In conclusion, Palestinian listed companies are still weakly used its intellectual capital' potentials in create value.
