Intellectual capital (IC) is considered to be a wealth generator and driver of financial performance thus creating competitive advantage and sustainability in business. This paper empirically investigates the impact of IC on financial performance and sustainable growth in the Korean manufacturing industry. Multiple regression models are applied with data collected from 390 manufacturing companies listed on the Korean Stock Exchange during 2012–2016. The results of the analysis show that IC has a positive impact on financial performance and companies’ sustainable growth. In addition, companies’ performance and sustainable growth are positively related to physical capital, human capital (HC), and relational capital (RC). RC is found to be the most influencing factor. Finally, innovative capital captures additional information on structural capital (SC) which negatively affects the performance of Korean manufacturing companies. The results extend the understanding of IC in creating corporate value and building sustainable advantages in emerging economies.

“…According to Caner and Tyler (2013), firm's innovation capabilities is a function of the amount of the firms' investment in structural capital in terms of research and development expenditures, licenses and accreditations that organization holds and the number of patents the firm can boost of. Crema and Verbano (2016) in support for the view confirm a significant positive correlation exists between the level of innovation intensity in a firm and the amount of research and development investment of the firm.…”

The concept of talent management has received great attention from scholars and practitioners. Despite this, there are few studies associated with the relationship between innovation and talent management. This study invokes human capital, McGregor's X and Y, social exchange and employee attraction theories to examine the link between talent management, product innovation, process innovation and marketing innovation. A questionnaire is developed to collect the data from the study sample consisted of (120) employees in top and middle management positions. Collated data is analyzed with variance-based structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Results from PLS-SEM suggest that talent management had a significant and positive impact on product, process and marketing innovations. Supplemental ANOVA analyses also reveal that organizational tenure was a strong determinant for talent management as well as product, process and marketing innovations.

“…Additionally, a predominantly short-termed vision and deficient organizational culture have failed to promote significant investment in research and development (R&D) (Falkner & Hiebl, 2015). In SMEs, these organizational practices have resulted in intellectual property (IP) management problems and poor outcomes in innovation and financial results (Amidon & Macnamara, 2004;Crema & Verbano, 2016).…”

The ability to learn and acquire knowledge has been one of the most important challenges for most companies, and especially for SMEs. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of absorptive capacity on innovation, market orientation, and intellectual property management in SMEs. We also analyzed the influence of these variables on financial results in SMEs. The study was based on a sample of 412 companies in the industrial (manufacturing and agro-industry) and services (telecommunications and real estate) sectors operating in the Mexican Northwest. Data collection was carried out from June to October, 2014, using self-directed interviews with company managers. The estimation of relationships was tested by variance-based SEM statistical method with the PLS technique, using the SmartPLS software (version 3.2.6). Results showed that absorptive capacity has a significant influence on innovation and market orientation. Moreover, innovation and market orientation were found to have a significant influence on business profitability. No empirical support was found to explain the relationship between intellectual property management and absorptive capacity, innovation, and SME profitability. SME managers should continue with internal and external training of employees to strengthen their skills and knowledge. In addition, they must adopt and implement a business model that connects knowledge with intellectual property and innovation, through an R&D department, in order to increase profitability. With these actions the companies through their managers will have employees with greater skills, knowledge and with greater creativity. Leading to the SMEs to take advantage of its capabilities to develop new products, patent processes and products and protect their knowledge. It is also important for managers to continue to implement marketing strategies that allow them to become more competitive global markets. With the market focus companies can compete in global markets and achieve sustained profitability. This study is a contribution to absorptive capacity literature and to the resource-based view.
