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.

We innovate to create competitive advantage. Competitive advantage is found in new knowledge, which solves the buyer's problem. Humans create new knowledge in three ways: through Discovery - stumbling upon something that solves a problem; through Experimentation - trying different approaches to a problem until the solution is found; and through Synthesis - combining existing knowledge to create new knowledge. Today, Synthesis is the most common way we solve problems. Everyone synthesizes, but some people are extraordinarily good at it. They see the big picture, and how all the pieces fit together. Their brains have the ability to reach great mental distances to find remote metaphors which presents knowledge that turns into great solutions. Mixing your experts with people who are novice super-synthesizers can create best in class solutions and give a company a sustainable competitive advantage.

The accelerating flow of changes in all spheres of society puts humanity in the face of the problem of determining its place and role in this flow. Should we follow the limits set by the parameters and conditions of the flow, or try to control it? The answer to this by no means idle question should be given first of all by university science – that part of science that produces not only new knowledge, but also the main resource for their practical implementation – competent people. Accordingly, universities should also be in the flow of changes and determine the goals, objectives and content of ongoing changes not only for society, but also for themselves. The basic contours of this personal identity process are already beginning to become clear. There is a consensus that the transformation of higher education should be managed. But many questions, both theoretical and practical, remain open. And the main among them is question of how and by whom this process should be managed. The article deals with the features of the current stage of development of management relations in higher education in Russia. The necessity of transforming university activities is shown. The conditions and approaches to making changes are described. The practical policy of implementing changes is analyzed. Suggestions for its improvement are put forward and justified.

PurposeThis study examines the role of intellectual capital disclosure (ICD) on earnings forecasting by analysts in the pharmaceutical industry in emerging countries, particularly in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. This study specifically examines the role of each component of the ICD on analysts' forecasts, which consists of errors of forecasted earnings, the standard deviation of forecasted earnings and analyst recommendations.Design/methodology/approachPanel data analysis is conducted using a sample of 17 companies from pharmaceuticals industries in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand – Growth Triangle (IMT-GT), which are listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), Malaysia Stock Exchange (MYX) and Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) from 2010 to 2017. Secondary data is obtained from Bloomberg and Annual report, where they are being analyzed to measure the ICD and gather the control variables.FindingsThe results indicate that the three components of ICD, namely human capital disclosure (HCD), structural capital disclosure (SCD) and relational capital disclosure (RCD), insignificantly influence average analysts' consensus recommendation and analysts' earnings forecast dispersion. However, the findings show a significant negative influence of relational capital disclosure (RCD) on analysts' earnings forecast error. In contrast, HCD and SCD have an insignificant impact.Practical implicationsTransparency in disclosing activities related to external parties is essential for the pharmaceutical industry. It is found that relational capital disclosure is the only ICD indicator that can strengthen analysts' profit predictions. Transparency about company activities in maintaining customer satisfaction and activities related to strategic alliances with other organizations are two critical things that can accommodate the accuracy of earnings forecasting from analysts in pharmaceutical companies.Originality/valueThis study contributes to ICD-related research by discussing the financial analyst's response to this voluntary disclosure in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. The selected observation period is seven years, starting one year after the global financial crisis. The results showed that the disclosure of IC is not an exciting thing for financial analysts. In forecasting current earnings, financial analysts are more interested in errors than the previous year's estimates.
