The concept of intellectual capital is increasingly recognized as one of the most important strategic assets of organizations. The significance of intellectual resources, which are now critical for every business unit, is underlined in this paper. Thus, this research aims to identify the effectiveness of intellectual capital and its components on organizational innovation at Sulaimani Polytechnic University in Sulaymaniyah Governorate from the point of view of the faculty members (academic and administrative staff). The study developed both theoretical and empirical sections. The descriptive approach was used to determine the effectiveness of intellectual capital, and the quantities of research methodologies were used to measure this effectiveness. The study aims to investigate the correlations and causal effects between intellectual capital and organizational innovation. Moreover, the study investigates the correlations and causal effects between human capital, structural capital, and relational capital on radical and incremental innovation in the organization. To achieve this, the 392 total samples were collected and analyzed by SPSS 22 software. The findings provide evidence that intellectual capital and its components have a positive and statistically significant effect on organizational innovation and its components.

“…The purpose of creativity techniques is to avoid established ways of thinking and to find solutions within the known. The longer we deal with one problem, the more stereotypical our thinking is ( Likar et al, 2006 ). Theory of creative thinking encompasses more than a hundred methods, which have different starting points (known vs. unknown problem to participants), goals (useful vs. extremely original ideas), numbers of participants (group vs. individual), ways of performing the creative process (ideas based on creativity of participants, ideas based on solutions from nature, and creativity originating from forced associations), etc.…”

This paper introduces a novel method for the creation of ideas for disruptive innovations. It provides an application of innovation management techniques to specifics of disruptive technologies, which stand behind the Industry 4.0 (and Society 4.0) changes that are taking place at present. Centered around the Ordo ab Chao technique, the paper presents how contemporary disruptive technologies can attain reflections in the complex creative process that has to lead to disruptive ideas and innovations. Quite some innovative thinking techniques already exist. However, they fail to place emphasis on creation of ideas that are tied to emerging disruptive technologies so as to further deploy them in a focused, yet innovative manner. Hence, this paper presents an effective technique that facilitates creation of disruptive ideas with a focused potential for real-life implementations. Practical application of the method related to challenges in higher education processes amid the COVID-19 pandemic is also demonstrated. Based on the understanding of existing disruptive technologies, the technique is used for the adaptation and improvements of distance-learning processes to further add value for students and our society in general. In brief, the Ordo ab Chao technique is a promising tool for systematic development of disruptive solutions, representing a creative synergy between cutting-edge technologies and innovation management approaches.
