Social enterprises are a hybrid form of organizations that enact nonprofit and for-profit activities simultaneously. Like their nonprofit and for-profit counterparts, social enterprises are facing the same challenges, if not more, in a turbulent economy. This chapter aims to examine how structural capital assists social enterprises in the development and management of human capital in today’s competitive environment. Based on 22 qualitative in-depth semi-structured interviews across 10 social enterprises and nonprofit organizations that perform social entrepreneurship in Australia, the findings suggest that structural capital helps social enterprises in facilitating human capital development and management for innovation. Thus, the study contributes to the literature by arguing that structural capital plays an essential role in social enterprises. Strategies should be developed for a more balanced development of intellectual capital if an intellectual capital-based view of the firm is to be fully integrated.

External Knowledge Acquisition

Social intelligence can be interpreted as one’s tacit knowledge, ability, and skills to sense and understand the needs of external stakeholders, and constantly interact appropriately with the stakeholders for the benefits of the firm. Based on 25 qualitative in-depth semi-structured interviews across 15 Australian organisations, this chapter examines the role of social intelligence and argues that social intelligence acts as a catalyst to external knowledge acquisition, which can have a dynamic influence on human capital and organisational learning that lead to innovation in organisations. The analysis also reveals that the participants’ understandings of social intelligence were different from those contained in the literature. This chapter argues that the implications of the theory-practice divide of social intelligence in organisations cannot be undermined, and a better understanding of the concept is necessary if knowledge management, organisational learning, and an intellectual capital-view of the firm are to be fully integrated.

Leaders play a very important role in an organization. It does not matter if the organization is small or big. In Islam, leadership is a matter of concern. This can be seen extensively in the Quran and al-Hadith. Islamic scholars take this issue seriously and extensively, as well as its relation to the creation of man as a caliph on this earth. Due to the importance of this leadership, this study aims to see the role played by its special leaders in management affairs as well as the development of human capital in the context of Islam. The title has also been chosen with the aim of looking at how far Islam plays its role in management as well as human capital development. This paper is produced through document analysis in the form of documentation review, the evaluation of scholars on the concept of the leader itself, and the good leadership effect on human capital development and management. It was found that the best management is management that does not ignore spiritual disclosure in managing and administering an organization. The development of human capital based on al Quran and Sunnah is the best model in producing a person who is both spiritually and physically brilliant.
