Role of Intellectual Capital on the Organizational Performance of Electrical and Electronic SMEs in Pakistan

“…Bontis et al, (2000) explained intellectual capital as submission of individual workers' and organizational knowledge that contribute to sustainable competitive advantage. Cabrita (2009) argue that there is a consensus that intellectual capital is a set of intangible resources such as capabilities, skills, and competences that drive the organizational performance and value creation (Roos and Roos, 1997;Bontis, 1998). Researchers concluded that intellectual capital is a major source for organization to gain competitive advantages in knowledge based economy; (Chen andLin, 2004 Stewart, 1997;Wall et al 2004;Cabrita, 2009;Shaari et al, 2010).…”

“…However, these stocks of intangible knowledge assets are some of those valuable rare, inimitable and non-substitutable firm's assets (Roos & Roos, 1997) which constitutes the firm's sources of competitive advantage and performance (Barney, 1991). Nieves, Quintana, and Osorio (2014) noted that the ability of a firm to stimulate and improve the level of these knowledge assets would put it in a better position to address any competitive difficulties.…”

“…However, some of the major constructs which have been conceptualized and empirically testified as those intangible resources which explain under the framework of resource-based perspective are intellectual capital (Roos & Roos, 1997) and entrepreneurial orientation (Shane, Mcgrath, & Macmillan, 2009). The impact of both of these resources was empirically proven by a number of researchers on small and medium firms (Lumpkin & Dess, 2001;Sumedrea, 2013;Walsh, Enz, & Canina, 2008;Wiklund & Shepherd, 2005;Wiklund & Shepherd, 2003).…”
