“…In the manufacturing sector, the notion of innovation (or the associated employee innovative behavior) is well established; however, there is growing evidence that a better understanding of innovation in nonmanufacturing industries is necessary (Schneckenberg, 2009; Yami and Nemeh, 2014). In addition, these industries emphasize the importance of knowledge and team cooperation and sharing (Li et al , 2018; Chierici et al , 2020; Vodenko and Lyausheva, 2020). Table 1 reports the profiles of the responding companies in detail.…”

PurposeBased on experiential learning theory (ELT), this study explores the cross-level effect of team reflexivity on employee innovative behavior. The authors especially focus on the mediating effect of individual intellectual capital (IIC) and the moderating effect of empowering leadership on the relationship between the two constructs.Design/methodology/approachThis study collects data from 76 work units, which include 362 employees and their direct supervisors. A cross-level moderated mediation model was tested by using multilevel path analysis.FindingsThe results show that team reflexivity significantly contributes to employee innovative behavior. IIC mediates the above relationship. Empowering leadership not only positively moderates the relationship between team reflexivity and IIC but also reinforces the linkage of team reflexivity → IIC → employee innovative behavior.Practical implicationsThe study suggests that organizations should invest more in promoting team reflexivity and empowering leadership in the workplace. Furthermore, managers should make members aware of the importance of IIC for employee innovative behavior. They need to make efforts to enhance IIC via internal communication channels or open discussions, which facilitate IIC and employee innovative behavior.Originality/valueThis research tests the relationship between team reflexivity and employee innovative behavior and identifies IIC as a key mediator that links team reflexivity to employee innovative behavior. It also highlights the moderating role of empowering leadership in the process.

“…On the other hand, all forms of innovation capital investment and development will invariably involve firm risks. For firms that prioritize R&D, this will increase firm risk (Chierici et al, 2020). According to Liu et al (2021), innovation that is based on something already existing (imitative innovation) is positively correlated with the financial risk of the firm.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine two relationships: (1) innovation capital and firm value; and (2) innovation capital and firm risk. The population of this study was all companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2016-2020, and the required research sample was drawn using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis technique used multiple linear regression. The result revealed that innovation capital had a positive and statistically significant effect on firm value, but innovation capital had a negative and insignificant relationship on firm risk. Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that innovation capital has a potential factor to increase company's value, only if companies have a competitive advantage by disclosing the R&D costs and investments in their financial statements. Because of each company is unique, innovation capital is not always related to a systematic risk measurement.

“…Chierici et al (2020) contribute to the IC literature, analysing small innovative enterprises (SIEs) to understand of how digital collaboration and digital tools could be useful to enhance their capability to generate IC and, in particular, social innovation capital. In turn, managers can identify new solutions to support innovation processes and strength competitiveness.…”

Twenty years of history: the 20th anniversary special issue of Journal of Intellectual Capital The Journal of Intellectual Capital (JIC) recently celebrated its 20-year history of publishing high-quality scientific articles exploring research questions about intellectual capital (IC), including human capital, structural capital and relational capital. To commemorate these 20 years of publishing, the editorial team announced a special issue on this history and to explore the future of this field of scientific inquiry. This special issue carries on the tradition of excellence in research and offers insightful articles for our readers.In the previous century, most companies were valued primarily on their book value: that is, a publicly traded firm's market capitalization ("market cap" equals share price times number of outstanding shares) was often not much greater than its "book value" (the value of all its tangible assets, like "plant and equipment"), with only a few firms demonstrating higher valuations because of growing sales, brand value, strategic relationships or other factors not found on a firm's balance sheet. Tangible assets made up over 83% of US firm's valuations in the 1970s. This is no longer true. Currently, about 90% of the value of the "S&P500" (the 500 largest publicly traded companies in the US) now comprises intangible assets. How did this happen? How do we measure this value? How can firms exploit their opportunities to grow this value? How can this be sustained? How can it be protected and secured?IC collectively refers to all the factors that determine an organization's value. It is the individual and collective knowledge and skills, applied experience and expertise, enterprise processes, technologies, customer relationships and inter-organizational relationships which confer value to a firm often not measured through traditional accounting methods. It comprises human capital (of employees), organizational (or collective) capital and relationship capital. IC also stands for future earning capabilities (Edvinsson, 2013).IC is often the primary driver of an organization's success. It starts with the creativity and innovation created by individuals and workgroups who develop knowledge artifacts such as intellectual property, disruptive technologies, brands and franchises, and innovative internal processes, and successful external partnerships and alliances. Firms and not-for-profit organizations who harness and leverage these information and knowledge artifacts can increase efficiencies and effectiveness, can establish strategic sources of competitive advantage and can ultimately create IC assets, not shown on a balance sheet, which can result in differences between a company's market value and its book value. Such firms (and others) often transform this IC into significant growth and disruption of market sectors.These key knowledge artifacts, increasingly the source of a firm's value, must be created and exploited. Firms seek to hire personnel to "think outside the box" and then create formal ...
