A New Perspective of the Intellectual Capital Dynamics in Organizations

Author(s):  
Constantin Bratianu

Most pioneers of the intellectual capital studies developed static models able to describe the structure and the operational power of this new concept. Their contributions have been based on individual experience of dealing with tangible assets. According to these models, there is no time variable in the intellectual capital interpretation, and therefore there is no change or transformation. Intellectual capital is considered a stock with the following generic structure: human capital, structural capital, and relational capital. The purpose of this chapter is to present a dynamic model of the organizational intellectual capital, based on a new concept of integrators, and a new functional structure. Integrators are powerful fields of forces acting upon the employees of a company in order to generate synergy. Among the most important integrators we may think of leadership, management, processes and organizational culture. The new structure is based on knowledge, intelligences and values, as independent basic building blocks.

The objective of this study is to test the relationship between intellectual capital (IC) and the profitability. IC is an intangible asset that has been acknowledged by various researchers to be the most important asset of a firm and its roles are to shape and integrate tangible assets into value creation processes. In this study, IC was proxied by VAIC and the operating performance was represented by ROA, OPM, and ATO. The sample in this study consists of Indonesian firms in the hospitality industry between the year of 2007 and 2011. This study found out that IC had limited role in driving profitability of a firm. When VAIC was broken down into tangible assets (VACA) and intangible assets (VAHU and STVA), the most dominant which is pushing the profitability of companies is still tangible assets. VACA is even comparable with size and leverage in getting firms profitable. Human capital (VAHU) is the weakest link in value creation of the firms at the hospitality industry in Indonesia. Finally, structural capital (STVA) increases productivity only through reduction of the costs in doing businesses not in revenue increases.

During more than a decade, the literature has provided several intellectual capital models. Nevertheless, empirical evidence is still necessary in the field, and empirically supported models for classification and measurement of intellectual capital are not very common. This work finds the main components or building blocks of an intellectual capital balance sheet, taking the three most common components of intellectual capital (human capital, structural capital, and relational capital) and testing empirically if this grouping of intangible assets is supported by the evidence obtained from a sample of knowledge-intensive firms from Boston’s Route 128. Findings suggest a classification of intellectual capital according to four categories: human capital, structural capital, relational business capital, and strategic alliances.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide new evidence, made possible by human capital data that became available after IFRS adoption, on the productivity of intellectual capital and its components. These productivity measures are modelled to determine their value-relevance in the share market, and the modelling is extended to comparative productivity measures for the book-value of assets. Design/methodology/approach – Financial data are sourced from financial databases and company annual reports on a sample of 160 Australian listed firms over a five-year period. Panel regression analysis is used to test five models built from Riahi-Belkaoui's (1999) general price model of the value-relevance of accounting numbers. Findings – The results show that the productivity of human capital, structural capital and intellectual capital are each significantly positively related to share price (i.e. have value-relevance), whereas the productivity of total assets at book-value is non-significant and tangible assets is inversely significant. Originality/value – This study constructs a new improved method of computing the amount of structural capital, and uses recently available financial statement data to provide first-time evidence on human capital and its inclusion in the determination of the amount of intellectual capital. These new models and data enable a direct comparison to be made between the value-relevance of intellectual and the book-value of assets.

Purpose This study aims to examine intellectual capital disclosure (ICD) on Twitter by 60 of the world’s largest companies and explains the main themes communicated to stakeholders. The second objective is to determine which topics provoke most stakeholders’ reactions. Design/methodology/approach The authors perform content analysis on more than 42,000 tweets to examine ICD practices along with the reactions of stakeholders in the form of retweets and “favorites” toward the information disclosed. Findings Intellectual capital (IC) is an important theme in corporate disclosure practices, as more than one-third of the published tweets refer to IC. The world’s largest companies focus on relational capital information, followed by human and structural capital. The main IC themes disclosed were management philosophy, corporate reputation and business partnering. Tweets related to IC are of greater interest to stakeholders than other tweets and provoke more reactions. There is no complete consistency between the topics most intensively disclosed by companies and those that elicit the most vivid responses from the addressees. Practical implications This study offers an understanding of the world’s largest companies’ practices that refer to ICD via social media and has implications for organizations in the creation and use of communication channels when developing a dialogue with stakeholders on topics regarding IC that may lead to better management of IC performance. Originality/value This paper is a response to the call for studies on ICD via social media, which is strongly highlighted in the recent literature concerning future research on IC and until now was almost absent in the field of business units. This research provides in-depth insights into the use of Twitter to disclose IC elements and indicates which fields and topics of this disclosure provoke stakeholders’ reactions, which is a novelty in ICD studies.
