The study aimed to figure out the effect of the strategic leadership on the intellectual capital, in addition to the mediating role of the knowledge-sharing mediating variable in the Kuwaiti industry companies. To achieve the objectives of the study, the study adopted the descriptive, analytical approach by preparing a questionnaire. After verifying its validity and reliability, the researcher distributed it to a sample of (284) male and female employees in the Kuwaiti industrial companies. After conducting the statistical analysis through the (SPSS) and (Amos V23), the study concluded a statistically significant effect at sig. (α≤0.05) for the strategic leadership on the intellectual capital in the Kuwaiti industrial companies and a statistically significant effect at sig. (α≤0.05) for the strategic leadership of the intellectual capital through knowledge sharing as a mediating variable in the industrial companies in the State of Kuwait.

This study developed and empirically corroborated a structure explicitly propositioning eco-product innovation and external learning, correspondingly bridging the link between intellectual capital and sustainability performance. The theory of dynamic capabilities and knowledge-based view proposed eco-product creation and external education as mediators that developed a new conceptual model. This study utilized the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM method) to examine one hundred sixty-two Indonesian bottled drinking industries, exposing their attentiveness to cooperate in the study. More essentially, the study unraveled new justifications by scrutinizing external learning's role as more influential than eco-product innovation. Based on the practical viewpoint, intellectual capital helped exchange knowledge and information with distributors, suppliers, and competitors. Thus, the complete assimilation and transformation of their understanding could improve business performance.

The aim of this study is to explore the impact of intellectual capital on the achievement of competitive advantage in organizations. It also aims to explore the mediating impact of innovation on the relationship between intellectual capital and the achievement of competitive advantage. To meet the study’s goals, the researchers reviewed the relevant literature. The researchers also provide definitions for intellectual capital and innovation. They also identified the dimensions of intellectual capital (i.e. structural, human and relational capital). The study identified the types of innovation (incremental and radical innovation) and found that intellectual capital significantly influences on the achievement of competitive advantage. Moreover, the study found that innovation has a mediating influence on the relationship between intellectual capital and the achievement of a competitive advantage.

The purpose of this research is to reveal the influence of intellectual capital, potential absorptive capacity, realized absorptive capacity, and cultural intelligence on innovation in the tourism sector in Batam City. Batam has geopolitical and geographic advantages, located in the Malacca Strait, adjacent to and directly facing Singapore and Malaysia. It has not been optimal in exploring the potential for innovation in the tourism sector. Thus, this sector does not yet have a significant contribution to economic development. The research was conducted on the management of companies that are members of the Association of the Indonesian Tours and Travel Agencies in Batam City, totaling 54 people. By using the analysis of Structural Equation Model (SEM) with SmartPLS version 3.0, the results show that 1) intellectual capital has no effect on innovation; 2) potential absorptive capacity has no effect on innovation; 3) Realized absorptive capacity has a significant positive effect on innovation, and 4) Cultural Intelligence has a significant positive effect on innovation. The results of this study will give some insight to company managers in the tourism sector for developing innovation to maintain business continuity.

The study aimed to demonstrate the impact of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) with its dimensions (Green IT, Green Manufacturing and Packaging, Green Storing, Green Purchasing, Green Marketing) on the quality of services in renewable energy companies in Jordan. In addition, the study also aimed to measure the impact of intellectual capital on the impact of GSCM on the quality of services in renewable energy companies in Jordan. By adopting the survey/sampling method, data was collected from the study population of (482) companies, and the study sample consisted of (260) managers of renewable energy companies in Jordan using a questionnaire. The study reached several results, the most important of which are: the existence of an impact of green supply chain management on the quality of services in renewable energy companies, that intellectual capital has modified and enhanced the effect, and that renewable energy companies in Jordan seek to use environmentally friendly inputs in their production at a very high rate, several recommendations emerged from these results, most notably: that companies constantly review the production processes followed by suppliers to ensure their compliance with environmental specifications.

A value chain plays a crucial role in increasing production efficiency due to business uncertainty and high competition between business entities. Of these, the business must carry out the activities effectively and efficiently to achieve maximum profit. However, the study that focuses on the moderating role of the value chain in its relationship to firm performance is still limited. Thus, the present study aims to examine the effect of intellectual capital and environmental uncertainty toward firm performance and the mediating role of the value chain in the relationship between intellectual capital and environmental uncertainty to firm performance. This study was designed using a quantitative approach through an online survey. A total of 207 staff from non-financial state-owned enterprises consists of 10 clusters and 76 companies. The data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Square method (SEM-PLS) and assisted by statistical software, namely SmartPLS 3.3.3. The result indicated that intellectual capital and environmental uncertainty have a significant effect on firm performance. Also, this study found that a value chain moderates the relationship of intellectual capital and environmental uncertainty toward firm performance. In conclusion, this study has successfully examined the effect of intellectual capital and environmental uncertainty on firm performance—also, the role of a value chain in the relationship of studied variables. In addition, the findings of this study showed that a value chain is an important tool for companies to improve their business performance.

The purpose of this study is to create a sustainable business model of Islamic banks in Indonesia through financial and non-financial aspects with financial performance as a mediate variable. The study uses quantitative approach by collecting secondary data of Islamic Banks from financial statements and annual reports over the period 2010-2018. The population of this study is 9 (nine) Islamic banks and the sample of research uses the census method. Data processing methods uses Partial Least Square. The results of the study stated that corporate governance has a significant effect on financial performance, intellectual capital has a significant effect on financial performance and company size has a significant effect on financial performance, but corporate governance has no effect on sustainable business. In addition, intellectual capital has a significant effect on sustainable business but company size has no effect on sustainable business. Moreover, financial performance has a significant effect on sustainable business, financial performance mediated the effect of corporate governance on sustainable business, financial performance partially mediated the effect of intellectual capital on sustainable business and financial performance mediated the effect of company size on sustainable business.

The aim of the present research is to study the relationship between intellect capital components and performance evaluation indicators. For measuring intellectual capital, the study uses Pulic’s method [Pulic, A. (2000). VAIC™–an accounting tool for IC management. International Journal of Technology Management, 20(5-8), 702-714.], which consists of three components of physical capital efficiency, human capital efficiency and structural capital efficiency. In the present study first, the value of the intellectual capital of the companies listed on Tehran Stock Exchange over the period 2006-2012 is calculated. Next, the relationship between the components of intellectual capital and financial return of the companies are evaluated. For calculating the financial performance 8 performance indicators in 5 groups presenting market value, profitability, activity, capital return, orientation on value creation are used. In the present research the statistical method used for data analysis is multiple regression and correlation coefficients. The selected sample of research includes 73 companies in continuous way for a time period of 7 years and the size of the company has been considered as a control variable. The findings indicate a positive and significant relationship between intellectual capital and financial performance of companies and a positive effect of the size of company on availability rate of intellectual capital and financial performance of a company.

In this research, we perform an empirical investigation to clarify the relationship between voluntary disclosure on the intellectual capital and firm valuation. We primarily proposed a more refined conceptualization of intellectual capital through a thematic content analysis conducted via Nvivo. Then, we developed a measurement scale to quantify the voluntary disclosure of the intellectual capital by using factor analysis. Finally, by using the structural equations, our results show that the investors have exploited the information that reflects the capacity of knowledge and experience of the management team to generate future profits.

This paper investigates different components on intellectual capital including human capital, structural capital and customer capital in banking industry in city of Salmas, Iran. The study uses the questionnaire developed by Bontis (1998) [Bontis, N. (1998). Intellectual capital: an exploratory study that develops measures and models. Management Decision, 36(2), 63-76.] to measure the effects of human capital. The questionnaire consists of 42 questions and all of them are designed in Likert scale. Cronbach alphas for human capital, structural capital and relationship capital were calculated as 0.79, 0.76 and 0.72, respectively. The implementation of Kolmogorov-Smirnov test has indicated that the data were normally distributed. Using t-student test, the study determined that while management team did not pay enough attention on human capital, there were some statistically significant evidence that social and relationship capitals gained good attention.
