“…Therefore, to overcome this issue, some scholars have argued for tools and ways to illustrate the role of IC in the value-creation process (Cuganesan, 2005; Dumay, 2009; Giuliani, 2017; Marr et al ., 2004; Zakery and Afrazeh, 2017). From a managerial perspective, IC may develop new practices for value creation, which could have implications for an entrepreneurial ecosystem (Chin et al ., 2023). Thus, the objectives that guide the introduction of the IC concept and attach its connotation to projects affect the way a firm develops IC (Chaminade and Roberts, 2003).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to verify whether the disclosure of intellectual capital (IC) positively affects the level of integration of financial and sustainability information.Design/methodology/approachThe sample of the analysis relies on European public companies. The data were gathered from Refinitiv, focussing on a multi-year observation from 2013 to 2021 and performing a fixed-effect regression. According to the extant literature, the authors developed the Intellectual Capital Score and the Integrated Thinking and Reporting Score.FindingsThe more disclosure of IC, the more financial and sustainability information is integrated. Indeed, the results confirm that the disclosure of IC enhances the level of integration of financial and sustainability information.Research limitations/implicationsThe study enriches academic knowledge about IC in conjunction with integrated reporting (IR) and integrated thinking by highlighting its relevance in the value-creation process and acting as a trait d’union of the disciplines.Practical implicationsFor standard setters, the research may be framed to redefine the guidelines explaining the information on IC to be disclosed. Moreover, it could be helpful for practitioners when identifying the IC information that deserves to be disclosed, other than being exploitable to conduct enterprises geared towards adopting integrated reports.Originality/valueThis study answers the call for further research on the relationship between financial information and sustainability information to highlight their joint perspectives quantitatively.

“…It was initially used synonymously with human capital and defined as the knowledge JIC 25,4 and skills possessed by individuals. The American economist John Kenneth Galbraith expanded this concept in 1969, positing that intellectual capital is not merely a static asset but also a process for effectively utilising knowledge and a means to achieve objectives (Galbraith, 1969).With constant changes in the environment and organisational needs, intellectual capital, which is composed of human capital, structural capital, and relational capital, is considered a key factor influencing organisational performance and innovation capabilities (Donate et al, 2020;Chabbouh and Boujelbene, 2020;Alvino et al, 2021;Phonthanukitithaworn et al, 2023;Chin et al, 2023).…”

PurposeThis study explores the relationship between intellectual capital and innovation in small and micro enterprises (SMEs) and analyses the mediating effect of dynamic ability on this relationship.Design/methodology/approachThis study used a questionnaire survey to obtain research data on intellectual capital and innovation in 290 SMEs in the Jiangsu and Shandong provinces of China. The impact of intellectual capital on the innovation of SMEs is tested using hierarchical regression analysis in SPSS 22.0. The effect of intellectual capital on the innovation of these enterprises was examined using the SPSS PROCESS macro version 3.3.FindingsThe findings reveal that intellectual capital not only directly promotes innovation inputs, patent applications, and innovation income but also indirectly fosters innovation by enhancing dynamic capabilities.Originality/valueThis study not only deepens the understanding of intellectual capital and its role in SME innovation but also further elucidates the intermediary role of dynamic capabilities and the differences in the impact of various dimensions of intellectual capital on innovation. Theoretically, it provides new evidence for the application of intellectual capital theory in the field of innovation research. Practically, it provides empirical evidence to further harness the role of intellectual capital in driving innovation in SMEs.

“…Intellectual Capital represents knowledge assets required to gain and maintain an advantage over competition (Yang et al, 2015) characterized by dynamic mechanisms (Chin et al, 2023). It has three components, human capital (HC), structural capital (SC) and relational capital (Bourdieu, 1986).…”

PurposeThe study aims to qualitatively analyze how faculty can mobilize the intellectual capital of higher education institutions (HEIs), comprising human, structural and relational capital to enable the education and learning of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.Design/methodology/approachDrawing upon the extant literature, the researcher conducted a qualitative study through written, in-depth interviews with a sample of 40 academic staff/faculty members having prior experience in teaching individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The data was collected through a set of questions formulated as key questions, to be asked to all participants for their responses.FindingsResults of the analysis demonstrated that intellectual capital’s contribution to higher education of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities can be best understood in terms of its three components/dimensions. Accordingly, three main themes, with each comprising two sub-themes were uncovered. The first theme, leveraging human capital comprised: faculty acumen and faculty training as sub-themes; the second theme, resourcing structural capital comprised: tangible and intangible structural capital as sub-themes; and the third theme, nurturing relational capital comprised: in-class engagement and the second is ex-class connection as sub-themes.Originality/valueThe paper collects data from 40 faculty having prior experience in teaching individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to explore and reveal a completely new perspective of looking at intellectual capital as a means of providing accessible and inclusive higher education to differently-abled students, making them a part of the mainstream.
