“…According to Dumay and Cai (2014), some novel sources of text used in ICD CA studies are "price sensitive announcements to the Australian Stock Exchange (Dumay and Tull, 2007), competency standards of an accounting firm (Chang and Birkett, 2004) and transcripts of focus group meetings (Chen, 2009)".…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to build on Dumay and Cai’s (2014) prior research to provide a deeper analysis of the problems associated with using content analysis (CA) as a research methodology for investigating intellectual capital disclosure (ICD). Design/methodology/approach – Totally, 110 articles utilising CA as a research methodology for inquiring into ICD are analysed based on Krippendorff’s (2013) conceptual CA research framework and design logic, and tied into issues relating to CA as a research methodology for investigating ICD. Findings – The authors advocate that ICD CA researchers need to go back to the drawing board and ensure that future studies rigorously apply the basic logic of CA design. In its current state, ICD CA research needs to take a few steps back, before it can move forward. If ICD CA researchers can accomplish this, then there is an opportunity to undertake rigorous research to develop reliable and valid outputs that add to new knowledge about IC. Research limitations/implications – The main limitations of the research are the chosen sample of CA-based ICD articles and the adoption of the Krippendorff’s framework. However, the authors have identified the main corpus of CA-based ICD studies and since Krippendorff is the only recognised comprehensive text on CA as a methodology, the authors use the most appropriate data and framework possible for the analysis. Originality/value – Prior CA studies have laid the foundation for what is a popular research methodology. However, the authors argue that the popularity of CA as a research method for investigating ICD has become so great that at times the research methodology “drives the research questions” as opposed to the “research questions driving the methodology” Hence, this research examines reasons for CA limited contemporary contribution and recommends how this may be overcome rather than prescribing how to conduct ICD CA research.

“…Structural capital is the repository of knowledge that is accessible through various sources that allow for knowledge sharing and knowledge creation between the members (Chang & Birkett, 2004). An organization's structure (SC) affects the development of IC due to its role as the supportive element for human capital (Chen, 2009). For example, research revealed a multiplicative effect between SC, when it supports HC, and results in improved enterprise performance.…”

This study used a quantitative, empirical, survey-research design and collected self-report data from faculty (n = 408) in secondary-level schools (n = 34) in Pakistan to test the reliability and construct validity of a proposed three-factor model of intellectual capital (IC). Results of the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses showed the three-factor model was reliable to quantify the construct of IC in Pakistan secondary-level schools. Factors included social relations, teacher experience and education, and teacher training and skills. Structural capital was tested indirectly. Statistically significant differences existed between school types for the IC mean scores, revealing an influence of structural capital on IC. Gender was included as a control variable in the analyses demonstrating no significant influence on the dependent variable, IC. School administrators and policy makers can use the results of this study to inform decision making and to support self-developing processes in schools in the effort to reduce the divide in educational outcomes between developed and developing countries.

“…This phase also emphasised the dynamic aspects of intellectual capital (Kianto, 2007;Montemari and Nielsen, 2013;de Santis, 2016): in creating value as exemplified by IC navigators (Fernström et al, 2004;Roos et al, 2005), value creation maps Marr, 2008), combinations of both (Cuganesan and Dumay, 2009;Jhunjhunwala, 2009), knowledge asset value spiral (Carlucci and Schiuma, 2006), the analytical hierarchy process (Liu, 2006(Liu, , 2007(Liu, , 2010aCarlucci and Schiuma, 2007;Grimaldi and Cricelli, 2009;Chen, 2009;Asonitis and Kostagiolas, 2010;Chang et al, 2010;Lee, 2010) and the further development of the analytical hierarchy process into the Conjoint Value Hierarchy approach (Pike and Roos, 2004;Roos et al, 2005;Garnett et al, 2008;Millar et al, 2010), strategy maps (Kaplan and Norton, 2004), and causal performance maps (Abernethy et al, 2005), of which the two latter were not developed specifically for intellectual capital applications but include aspects of intellectual capital when used. In addition, there was greater insights into the role of intellectual capital within differing strategic logics, i.e.…”

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to tie together the insights from the body of research relating to economic complexity theory, structural holes, non-price based competition, and knowledge management. The insights relating to generating national prosperity are synthesised through an intellectual capital lens. Design/methodology/approach-The paper uses literature review combined with insights from an Australian project on state-based economic complexity. Findings-The connectivist and autopoietic epistemological paradigms are found to be most aligned with the need to manage transformation between organisational and human resources that will achieve causal ambiguity and hence inimitability. This inimitability forms the basis for achieving non-price based competition and if there is a rich network of economic agents that, both individually and collectively through collaboration, have these characteristics a large share of the economy can operate on the basis of non-priced based competition. If all these agents have an export focus the economic complexity of the economy will be high, and likely increasing, which will enable both the creation and the appropriation of large amounts of value and hence result in increasing national prosperity. Research limitations/implications-Findings are only relevant for OECD countries given the origins of the data used. Practical implications-Managerial implications are outlined as are major implications for public policy. Originality/value-This is the first time that these concepts are linked.
