This article aims to provide a bibliometric analysis of intellectual capital research published in the Scopus database from 1956 to 2020 to trace the development of scientific activities that can pave the way for future studies by shedding light on the gaps in the field. The analysis focuses on 638 intellectual capital-related papers published in the Scopus database over 60 years, drawing upon a bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer. This paper highlights the mainstream of the current research in the intellectual capital field, based on the Scopus database, by presenting a detailed bibliometric analysis of the trend and development of intellectual capital research in the past six decades, including journals, authors, countries, institutes, co-occurrence, and author’s keywords. The findings imply that intellectual capital researchers do not use broad relevant theories and findings from studies beyond their clusters. Another result is that developing nations continue to be underexplored in terms of intellectual property research due to a lack of trust representation and a lack of appropriate investigators. Finally, the data analysis identifies a number of potential research issues to be investigated regarding intellectual capital development, which serve as raw material for future research. Once again, this study provides a framework for firms to build and implement intellectual capital development plans.

In today’s business environment, financial analysis is considered one of the most reliable tools to judge performance, especially in the banking sector. The present study investigates the financial performance of one of the most famous and highest profitable banks in Jordan, the Arab Bank. It examines the Arab Bank’s financial performance from 2000 to 2019 by adopting the DuPont system of financial analysis of return on equity (ROE) model. This method relies on three main elements, which are net profit margin (NPM), total assets turnover (TAT), and equity multiplier (EM). The main scope of this study is to analyze the profitability and efficiency of the Cooperative for one of the Jordanian banks. Dupont Analysis provides an indicator of the stockholders’ wealth using the ROE index. Secondary data was used by accessing the official website of the Arab Bank and obtaining the financial information by analyzing the annual reports. The study finds that the Arab Bank has maintained stability over two decades with slight fluctuations in the ROE despite the international financial crises. On the other hand, NPM and TAT have witnessed relative strength from 2000 to 2019. Furthermore, EM indicates constant indicators for the period of 2000-2005 while the ratios from 2006 -2019 have diminished, which means the financial leverage of the Arab Bank lately was less dependent on the debts to finance the assets.
