A Multidimensional View of Intellectual Capital: The Impact on Innovation Performance

Abstract

The current economic trend worldwide is for an industrial economy based on tangible assets to convert into a non-tangible economy based on intellectual capital. Lately, a multidimensional view of intellectual capital and its implications on innovation performance have generated renewed research interests. Based on these facts, the relationship amongst different antecedent factors such as culture and trust on intellectual capital components was analysed. In addition, a correlation among intellectual capital components (as non-tangible assets) and innovation performance for the banking sector was established. The positivism philosophy, deductive approach and quantitative methods were used as the research methodology to accomplish the research objectives. In this process, a questionnaire survey and purposive sampling technique were used to collect the responses from 364 employees of the Iraqi commercial banks. The obtained data were analysed statistically using the SPSS v25 and AMOS v24 software. The results revealed a significant impact of culture and trust (antecedent factors) on various intellectual capital components. Furthermore, a strong connection between these antecedent factors and intellectual capital components was evidenced, confirming the study hypotheses. Interestingly, intellectual capital components were found to enhance significantly the innovation performance of the banks, leading to better competitive advantages. In addition, it provided evidence on the impacts of inter-relationships amongst human, structural and relational capitals. Consequently, the study provides academicians and practitioners valuable insights into and guidance on how developing intellectual capital enhances competitive performance, especially in the context of Iraqi commercial banks.

Intellectual capital and innovation performance: the moderating role of big data analytics: evidence from the banking sector in Jordan

“…(3) The third section contained big data analytics construct items adopted in El-Kassar and Singh (2019), Shamim et al. (2020), Singh and Singh (2019) and Singh (2020), and (4) the fourth section included innovation performance construct items adopted in Al- Khatib et al. (2021), Hung and Chou (2013) and Li et al (2019).…”

“…Structural capital includes the organisational capabilities to transfer and store ideas and intellectual materials within the organisation (Wang and Chen, 2013;Ali et al, 2021a). These capabilities include all electronic systems, databases, information systems and organisational processes that the organisation maintains when workers leave (Beltramino et al, 2020).…”

Nurses experience of caring for patients with COVID-19: A phenomenological study

“…Using purposive sampling, 10 nurses who provided hands-on care for patients with active COVID-19 were approached. The purposive sampling technique was deemed suitable for this study because the data source was a closed fit to deliver data that would answer the study-related research question ( 16 , 17 ). Nurses providing hands-on care for patients with COVID-19 are the most experienced and will be informed about this phenomenon.…”

A Bid/Mark-Up Decision Support Model in Contractor’s Tender Strategy Development Phase Based on Project Complexity Measurement in the Downstream Sector of Petroleum Industry

“…From another perspective, it is important to analyze the developed decision support model from the viewpoint of complexity science and open innovation. This area of knowledge has deep application and novel approaches for problem solving in a wide range of domains-for instance, technology transfer performance [92]; adoption of new technologies, such as blockchain, big data, artificial intelligence, 3D printing, and virtual and augmented reality [93,94]; dynamics of business models [95][96][97]; quality analysis of complex products [98,99]; performance of corporate entrepreneurship [100][101][102]; design rules and modular architectures [103]; digital transformation in the banking sector [104]; and R&D innovation [105,106].…”
