Intellectual capital and SMEs’ performance: A structured literature review
系统梳理了智力资本对中小企业绩效影响的现有证据，发现智力资本影响创新、知识管理和核心竞争力等战略成果及企业绩效，适合关注中小企业管理和无形资产的研究者。
The role played by intellectual capital (IC) is crucial in the context of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Nonetheless, IC literature focusing on SMEs settings is limited and fragmented. This study provides a structured literature review (SLR) of existing evidence related to the effect of IC on SMEs performance. Findings show that strategic outcomes – such as innovation, knowledge management, and core competencies – and corporate performance of SMEs are impacted by IC. Further research could analyze the impact of IC on other determinants of SMEs’ performance such as learning organization, conversation management, and invisible assets.
