The important role of intellectual capital for value creation has led many companies to disclose their intellectual capital information in annual reports. This study aims to provide, via content analysis, an overview of the disclosure and presentation of intellectual capital information in the annual reports of cable companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2015. This study found that structural capital is the most common category of intellectual capital disclosed in the annual reports. In addition, most intellectual capital disclosures are discursive, with positive and past-oriented information. However, there is no systematic framework for disclosing intellectual capital information in annual reports. Disclosures made do not have a special pattern and are still random. This finding may contribute to an understanding of how companies communicate intellectual capital information for their own benefit, as well as the benefit of stakeholders, customers and employees.

This study examines the informational value of intellectual capital on Tunisian financial markets, which appears as a highly topical issue, especially with the broadening notion of the intellectual capital and its increasing role in investment decisions. Using content analysis of annual reports of 50 companies listed on the Tunisian Stock Exchange selected for the period 2006–2009, we developed a weighted disclosure index based on the users’ needs and expectations in order to estimate the relationship between intellectual capital disclosures and value creation.The results show that the intellectual capital information is positively and significantly correlated with the firm creation value. Reporting on intellectual capital allows resolving uncertainty about the firm, thereby improving an increase in value. This finding confirms the pivotal role of intellectual capital in the valuation of firms listed on the Tunisian Stock Exchange.

Intangible assets, such as information, are becoming increasingly essential to companies. Intellectual capital is another term for knowledge assets. The aim of this study is to find empirical evidence of the influence of intellectual capital and intellectual capital disclosure on firm valuation, as well as to identify the types of disclosures made by the banking industry listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2015-2019. The data used in the analysis were secondary data from annual reports. A six-way numerical coding scheme determines the disclosure item index. With 36 disclosure objects, the disclosure categories are divided into three categories: structural capital, human capital, and external capital. Content analysis and multiple linear regression are two data analysis methods. The results of the analysis show that an average of 49.91 percent is expressed in the form of a narrative, 16.44 percent is in the form of a combination of qualitative and quantitative, 7.53 percent is in the form of numbers and 1.44 items are expressed in the form of monetary units (rupiah). Meanwhile, an average of 24.33 percent of items of disclosure were not disclosed. Intellectual capital disclosure has a positive impact on firm value, while intellectual capital has no impact. According to research, investors in the banking industry consider intellectual capital disclosure when making investments.

Purpose This study aims to examine the factors affecting intellectual capital disclosure (ICD), especially in the agriculture and mining sectors in Indonesia and Thailand. Additionally, this study discusses the difference in ICD levels between Indonesia and Thailand. Design/methodology/approach The sample used is companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange and Stock Exchange of Thailand from 2013 to 2017. The method used is a content analysis of 380 annual reports (150 from Thailand and 230 from Indonesia). This study uses a panel regression model. Variables tested are firm size, market shares, minority shareholders, profitability, leverage and the focus on ICD components such as human capital disclosure, structural capital disclosure and relational capital disclosure. Findings IC disclosures in financial statements are generally oriented to past events and focus more on the human capital component. Overall, ICDs in Thailand are more qualified than in Indonesia. The findings support the stakeholder and legitimacy theories. It was found that the greater the company’s resources, the higher the quality of disclosure of all intellectual capital (IC) components. Conversely, when associated with the position in the market, companies reduce the disclosures. As the company has gained the government’s legitimacy, management’s passion for revealing more about its ICD is diminishing. Research limitations/implications This study focuses on the agriculture and mining sectors in Indonesia and Thailand. The annual report is the primary medium to observe IC in qualitative and quantitative ways, yet firms would use other means to disclose their IC. This study deploys the content analysis method, in which the determination of scores is based on the researchers’ judgment. Originality/value This study contributes to the ICD-related literature by focusing on the agriculture and mining industries and multinational scopes. The ICD valuation is extended to the quality of disclosures, in which numerical and monetary figures also support the disclosures. This study also examined minority shareholders’ role in ICD quality, which is infrequent in ICD literature.

This study explores roles of NEDs of SMEs listed in the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) in the London Stock Exchange. It extends the literature on NEDs’ roles relevant to a context where the adherence to the principles of non-regularity corporate governance is not compulsory. We adopted a content analysis approach as a novel method for exploring roles of NEDs using details of 1220 NEDs recorded in 75 annual reports. It revealed that NEDs meet the expectations of several stakeholders simultaneously by playing multiple roles. A conceptual model depicting testable relationship between cognitive tasks and key roles of NEDs is also developed

Objective - Corporate concern for the environment is an important stakeholder demand. A company is obliged to preserve the environment with various investments, one of which is green intellectual capital to maintain the sustainability of the company, especially for companies that carry out their business activities in countries that are in conditions of high pollution such as Indonesia. The importance of green intellectual capital investment information for stakeholders can be seen from the value relevance of the information. This study aims to examine and analyze the effect of investment in green intellectual capital, which consists of the following dimensions: human, structural, and relation to value relevance. Methodology/Technique – This study will explain the causal relationship between the independent and the dependent variables through hypothesis testing based on the theory that has been formulated with data that obtained and tested through quantitative panel data testing. Findings - The results of a survey of 515 samples of data from a population of 183 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2015-2019 found that green intellectual capital with its three dimensions had a significant positive effect on value relevance. This study also proves that green structural intellectual capital has influenced more on value relevance than human and relation intellectual capital. Novelty - The measurement of variables is green intellectual capital and value relevance in this study develops previous research with related government conditions and regulations in Indonesia. Green intellectual capital investment is measured by using content analysis from disclosures in annual reports and sustainability reports, and value relevance is measured by the Olhson model with beta correction by the stock market in Indonesia. Type of Paper: Empirical. JEL Classification: G32, O34 Keywords: Green Intellectual Capital; Value relevance; Human Capital; Structural Capital, Relational Capital

This study aims to investigate the impact of intellectual capital (IC) on corporate performance of IT companies listed on Borsa Istanbul for the period of 2004-2015. Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC) approach was applied to measure Intellectual Capital Efficiency (ICE). Corporate performance was calculated using traditional accounting tools involving; Market, Productivity, and Financial performance. The findings showed that human capital efficiency is the most effective factor in the issue of value creation than structural capital and capital employed for the study period before and after the crisis 2008. Structural capital efficiency does not play a considerable role in value creation before and after the crisis. While Capital employed efficiency was not considered as an engine to value creation before the crisis, but it played a key role of value creation after the crisis.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide an understanding of the intellectual capital (IC) reporting practices of the Bangladeshi pharmaceutical industry, one of the most significant industries to the Bangladeshi economy. It investigates the extent and qualitative characteristics of IC disclosures made by listed pharmaceutical companies in Bangladesh. Design/methodology/approach – Data are gathered through a content analysis of the 2006 annual reports of 16 pharmaceutical companies quoted on the Dhaka Stock Exchange. The content analysis is performed by IC topic (i.e. categories and subcategories) and three semantic properties of IC disclosure: first, format (i.e. discursive, numerical but non-monetary, numerical-monetary and visual); second, news-tenor (i.e. positive, neutral and negative); and three, time-orientation (i.e. forward-looking, non-time-specific and past-oriented). Findings – Results suggest a clear awareness among the Bangladeshi pharmaceutical companies of the significance of IC in corporate value creation and a commitment to publicly communicating IC. Some evidence is found of the need to manage stakeholder relationships, and legitimacy and impression management motives underpinning the management's desire to disclose IC. Also, proprietary cost theory explains the variation in the disclosure of types of IC. The Bangladeshi pharmaceutical companies did not adopt a consistent framework for IC reporting. A lack of consistency in reporting IC was also evident as the extent and subcategories of IC disclosures varied among companies. The findings indicate the Bangladeshi pharmaceutical companies may not have properly measured and managed their IC. Research limitations/implications – There are two main limitations specific to this study. First, it only provides a snapshot of IC disclosure practices of Bangladeshi pharmaceutical companies in 2006. Changes may have taken place since then that would have affected the IC-intensity and IC utilisation of these entities. Second, the study's sample is limited due to its focus on one industry. However, it is representative of the population as it includes more than two-thirds of Bangladeshi pharmaceutical companies. This limitation affects the ability to conduct statistically meaningful analyses for testing any hypotheses relating to IC disclosure. Originality/value – This is the first study on IC reporting practices of Bangladeshi pharmaceutical companies. Unlike most prior studies on IC disclosure practices, this study measures the quality of disclosures by analysing their semantic properties. The paper highlights the need for building organisational competencies in managing, measuring and reporting IC in Bangladesh.

This study examines the nature and extent of climate change disclosures in the corporate annual reports of the listed companies in Dhaka Stock Exchange, Bangladesh. For this purpose, annual reports related to the year 2014 of the sample 88 listed companies have been scrutinized. In regard to this study, content analysis approach has been conducted considering thirteen different disclosure issues regarding climate change. Our analysis provides the comprehension of below average climate change disclosure practices by the Bangladeshi companies, though 58 percent companies have reported at least one issue on climate change and global warming. ‘Energy saving & efficiency’ and ‘water management & pollution’ are mostly reported issues that are industry specific requirements in some case. From the viewpoint of industry, Banking industry and Cement industry have started to report some issues related to the climate change, where 4 industries out of selected 17 industries have not provided any climate change disclosure. Disseminating climate change disclosure within 10 sentences by most of the reported companies manifests the desideratum of in-depth disclosure practices.

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of different organizational enablers – i.e. ‘structural capital’ – on the ideation stage of innovation processes from an ‘intellectual capital’ (IC) perspective. Considering company size as one of the most relevant contingent variables as regards organizational conditions, the moderator role of this variable is also examined. To gather information about the variables under study, a questionnaire has been designed and addressed to the CEOs of a set of 142 Spanish manufacturing firms with more than 50 employees and which carry out R&D activities. Structural equation modelling (SEM) based on partial least squares (PLS) has then been applied in order to test the hypotheses drawn from the research. The results obtained show the organizational components which exert the greatest impact on the ideation phase and, therefore, the priority aspects to work on, in order to enhance this particular dimension of the innovation capability.
