Purpose: Empirical results about the direct relation of knowledge leading to financial performance at a firm is dispersed. This study aims to examine the impact intellectual capital (IC) has on firm performance in Polish and Dutch listed firms. Methodology: Quantitative data is collected based on audited annual reports from the top 20 companies listed at the Warsaw Stock Exchange and Amsterdam Stock Exchange between 2007 and 2011. IC is measured using the VAIC methodology with its individual elements of HCE, SCE, and CEE. Direct relations between ICE, HCE, and SCE and five measures of firm performance are statistically analysed. Results: The results suggest that there is a direct positive relationship between ICE and firm performance of Polish and Dutch listed firms, particularly with ROA, ROE, EP, and to a lesser extent with ATO. Firms listed in Poland provide a stronger positive ICE relation to ROA and ROE where firms listed in the Netherlands provide a stronger positive ICE relation to EP. Regarding individual elements, HCE relates highly positive to ROA, ROE, and EP where SCE finds only partial negative relation with ATO. Implications: Nurturing IC and in particular HC confirms the importance of firm knowledge and employees with right training and other support. Additionally, further clarification regarding SC is required. Originality: This paper presents the first study of the IC relationship with firm performance in Poland as well in the Netherlands. Additionally, the comparison between firms of both countries establishes a novelty in IC research.

This article aims to confirm the thesis that structural capital (SC) is a framework for intellectual capital (IC) in an organization, which allows proper configuration of intangibles. Therefore, in the resource-based view, it determines its strategic character. Realizing such a goal, the author pays attention to the nature of relations and connections of individual components of IC, indicating that the SC is the key factor creating intangible assets of the organization as a source of gaining competitive advantage. The reason for taking up this issue is that, despite years of discussion in the field of IC, there are still unanswered questions concerning the management of an organization’s IC, especially its planning and development. The defined knowledge gap concerns the source of strategic characteristics of IC, which, according to the resources-based view, are its rarity, originality, and the inability to be substituted or copied. The ability to shape the strategic value of intangibles makes this source itself a strategic resource and identifying it can change the way we understand IC. To achieve the paper's aim and fill the knowledge gap, the author asks whether SC can provide the characteristics of IC mentioned above and whether the strategic character of IC can be achieved independently of SC. The review and theoretical considerations are based on the analysis of the literature on IC and selected issues that are not directly related to IC, but of which the subject touches on the intangible assets commonly considered to be components of IC, such as the issue of functional stupidity, knowledge management, or resource theory. As a result of the analysis of features and characteristics of SC, the author concludes that SC is responsible for the efficient use of relational capital and human capital potential and thus is a strategic factor shaping IC as a source of achieved competitive advantage. The topic has important practical implications because by confirming the strategic role of SC, indicates the sources of effective creation of IC and its potential. The discussion also identifies directions for further research on this issue, especially the operationalization of IC and its analysis in organizations' internal structures.

Research background: Currently the topic of a company's intellectual capital is being widely investigated by various researchers. Nevertheless, only a small number of studies on the company's intellectual capital impact on its market value were conducted. What is more, the concept of a company's intellectual capital itself is not unified. There are some discrepancies in defining a company's intellectual capital, unifying structural model of the company's intellectual capital, and harmonizing the research methods and models of how to evaluate a company's intellectual capital. Purpose of the article: The aim of the article is to examine various scientific approaches of the company's intellectual capital and its impact on the market value of a respective company; to prepare a model of company's intellectual capital and its impact on the market value. What is more, the aim of this article is to check and test the model effectiveness using an example of the Baltic States listed companies. Methods: Data on 58 Baltic States' companies that are listed in Nasdaq Baltic stock exchange were taken as the basis of the research. Based on four component model (human capital, structural capital, juridical capital, relational capital) a set of indicators for assessing company's intellectual capital was formed. Expert evaluation was used in order to assign weights for different structural parts of intellectual capital. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted in order to find out what factors are the most significant for a company's intellectual capital. In order to find out how specific elements affect company's intellectual capital, a pair-wise multiple correlation and regression analysis were used. An average comparison method was used to reveal differences between companies of different countries. Findings & Value added: The study contributes to the Baltic States' knowledge on intellectual capital. It was detected that it is appropriate to use human capital, structural capital, juridical capital, and relational capital structural parts as components of company's intellectual capital while investigating its impact on market value of a respective company. According to the obtained results, the model of a company's intellectual capital and its impact on the market value was created, optimized, and its validity checked using exploratory factor analysis. The model was used to test the Baltic States listed companies and how their intellectual capital affects the market value. It was identified that intellectual capital in the listed companies of the Baltic States has a positive impact on their market value. Nevertheless, the study revealed that intellectual capital structural parts do not equally affect the market value of listed companies. The findings support the conclusion that human capital and relational capital have the greatest influence on the market value of listed companies. Companies where structural capital comprises the largest proportion of intellectual capital had lower levels of intellectual capital aggregated index, which could be examined in future studies.

Research background: Importance of intangible resources for country's economic growth is widely recognized. However, empirical evidence of this influence is hard to show due to measurement limitations of intangible resources. Majority of empirical studies concentrates on the analysis of a specific type of intangible resource's influence on economic growth. National intellectual capital concept provides background for an integrated assessment of the country's intangible resources. This new approach enables the estimation of intangible resources' influence to economic growth in a more complex way. Purpose of the article: a) To examine various scientific approaches of the national intellectual capital and its impact on the economic growth; b) to offer a measurement model of the national intellectual capital influence on economic growth; c) to evaluate the specific European Union countries' intellectual capital's effect on their economic growth. Methods: Econometric analysis; refined factor value computation method using the standardized regression coefficients; the SAW method; expert evaluation, cluster analysis; correlation and regression analyses. Findings & Value added: A review of the economic growth theories showed that structural components of intellectual capital (human capital, structural capital, social capital, relational capital) in economic growth theories are analyzed as key determinants of economic growth. Our proposed research methodology consists time lag between variables and this let us evaluate casual relation. Empirical analysis of 25 European Union countries' intellectual capital's effect on their economic growth rate revealed that national intellectual capital and the countries' level of economic development have statistically significant impact on economic growth rate. The analysis of intellectual capital components' influence on economic growth rate of 25 European Union countries showed that only human capital and the level of economic development have statistically significant influence. A more comprehensive human capital's influence on economic growth analysis revealed that 63.1 percent of the long-term economic growth rate in 25 European Union countries can be explained by differences in their economic development level and differences in educational achievement factor values. Moreover, analysis of national intellectual capital effect on economic growth in separate clusters allowed to identify influence differences in each group of countries.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest głos w dyskusji dotyczący prezentacji najważniejszych składników kapitału intelektualnego, które w warunkach innowacyjnej, opartej na wiedzy gospodarki, decydują o przewadze konkurencyjnej podmiotu działającego na rynku. Artykuł składa się z trzech części: (1) identyfikacji i klasyfikacji przesłanek konkurencyjności podmiotów rynkowych, (2) identyfikacji składników kapitału intelektualnego, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem kapitału ludzkiego i strukturalnego i ich wpływu na pozycję konkurencyjną oraz (3) prezentacji dylematów pomiaru kapitału intelektualnego i najważniejszych wskaźników go określających. W konkluzji stwierdzono, że kapitał intelektualny podmiotu rynkowego w coraz większym stopniu decyduje o jego efektywności i pozycji konkurencyjnej, lecz pomiar i kwantyfikacja poszczególnych jego składników nadal są problemem i ważnym nurtem badawczym w zarządzaniu w XXI wieku.

Celem artykułu jest zdeﬁniowanie pojęć, które są wielokrotnie użyte w pozostałych trzech rozdziałach oraz wskazanie znaczenia kapitału intelektualnego w zarządzaniu nowoczesnym przedsiębiorstwem. Rozdział rozpoczyna się od zaprezentowania deﬁnicji i słów kluczowych dotyczących różnych ujęć kapitału intelektualnego oraz zarządzania kapitałem intelektualnym, a także zostały opisane w nim składniki kapitału intelektualnego. W dalszej części wskazano na zasadność rozpatrywania kapitału intelektualnego w różnych formach i wielkościach przedsiębiorstw. Następnie podjęto próbę wykazania, że problematyka kapitału intelektualnego występuje zarówno w nowoczesnych formach organizacji, sprzyjających zarządzaniu kapitałem intelektualnym. Podstawowym wnioskiem wynikającym z pracy jest stwierdzenie, iż na dzień dzisiejszy małe przedsiębiorstwa, pomimo roli jaką odgrywają w gospodarce, nie mogą być oceniane jako podmioty, w których doceniany i pomnażany jest kapitał intelektualny. Poniższe rozważania przybliżają do zdefiniowania i strukturalizacji koncepcji zarządzania wiedzą oraz rozpoznania uwarunkowań procesów kreowania kapitału intelektualnego, a tym samym umożliwiają zrozumienie realiów praktyki. Wyzwaniem dla nauki pozostają problemy związane z opracowaniem metod, sposobów i narzędzi pomiaru kapitału intelektualnego jak również wyzwaniem w tym obszarze jest także budowa specyﬁcznego systemu pomiaru kapitału intelektualnego.

Intellectual capital has achieved the status of the main determinant of the competitiveness of enterprises, and consequently also of entire economies. However, due to the abstractness, ambiguity and complexity of this category, individual authors define and divide it differently. The lack of a standard for understanding and classifying the national intellectual capital means that knowledge on this subject is fragmentary. The aim of this article is to review and systematize approaches to the categorization of the national intellectual capital and present the author's proposal for systematizing the capital structure and understanding its components.

Kapitał intelektualny osiągnął status głównej determinanty konkurencyjności przedsiębiorstw, a w następstwie również całych gospodarek. Jednak ze względu na abstrakcyjność, niejednoznaczność oraz złożoność tej kategorii poszczególni autorzy różnie ją definiują i dzielą. Brak standardu rozumienia i struktury kapitału intelektualnego kraju sprawia, że wiedza na ten temat ma charakter fragmentaryczny i nie zostaje w wystarczającym stopniu wykorzystana w praktyce. Celem tego artykułu jest przegląd i systematyzacja podejść do struktury kapitału intelektualnego kraju oraz przedstawienie autorskiej propozycji w tym zakresie.
