Intellectual capital is defined as the set of intangible assets that generate value for the company. Normally, the models that measure the intellectual capital make use of investments in intangible assets, as indicators of the generation of value by the company; or are based on a holistic measure, using another focus to validate. This research proposes a new method to measure intellectual capital, reconciling the use of financial measures for the management of intellectual capital and its antecedents in triangulated indices; it also determines relationship path coefficients, between constructs developed from a general conceptual model, based on the academic and professional literature. The proposed method combines component indicators with holistic indicators using a structural equation model, allowing differentiating the components of intellectual capital from the stock of intellectual capital. The method is applied to more than 1,600 European companies from 2004 to 2015 to assess its validity, presenting the monetary value of intellectual capital in these companies. The results allow a comparison of the situation of intellectual capital in companies in different countries and industries, opening an opportunity to disclosure intellectual capital.

Los negocios de subsistencia son muy importantes en los países en vías de desarrollo y en particular en Ecuador. Estas empresas se desarrollan normalmente en mercados situados en el fondo de la pirámide. Su competitividad se basa en el capital relacional, esencialmente. El tipo de mercados, las características de estos negocios y la cultura local pueden condicionar su desempeño. El objetivo de esta investigación es determinar si la cultura empresarial modera o cambia el efecto que tiene el capital relacional sobre el desempeño de los negocios de subsistencia en América Latina. Para alcanzar este objetivo, se utilizan mínimos cuadrados parciales aplicados a encuestas realizadas a 980 negocios de subsistencia. Los resultados señalan la importancia de la cultura y del capital relacional para tener mejor desempeño. Sin embargo, el posible oportunismo asociado a la cultura hace que se reduzca el impacto del capital relacional sobre el desempeño de la empresa.

The paper analyzes the connection between technological knowledge and organizational culture in small subsistence businesses (SSBs). It uses data from a proportional representative sample of 980 surveys in the canton of La Maná (Cotopaxí, Ecuador) to test if culture conditions the different components of technological knowledge in SSBs. This work verifies that the technological knowledge is a source of short-term and long-term performance, which confirm for SSBs previous works in intellectual capital. The study analyzes also the moderating effect of culture, verifying that culture does not condition the connection between technological knowledge with the short-term performance. It shows that culture is not a source of performance. However, when the research checks whether the effect of the technological knowledge increases the long-term performance, the results indicate that culture significantly limits this effect, suggesting that culture presents a certain opportunism, possibly because in the SSBs, entrepreneurs do not pay any attention to developing knowledge resources. The conclusions present some managerial and social implications to improve the functioning and management of SSBs.

This study analyses the mechanism through which dynamic capabilities affect performance in a group of Russian companies. It suggests a new method to measure indicators of dynamic capabilities with economic and financial data, using activity cost elasticity with respect to total cost in order to analyse the increase in investment in this activity versus the total activity of the company. The research uses quantile regression with annual data of 1,096 Russian companies for the period 2004–2014, provided by Bureau Van Dijk. Managerial capability is the only capability that has direct effects on productivity growth rates. Innovation capability and marketing capability require mediation of the managerial capability to have an effect on the performance of Russian companies.

In developing countries, the business environment is more uncertain, so normally, companies must continually seek new ways to compete, based on their innovation capability. This is especially necessary in small businesses that are created as a way of subsistence of the entrepreneur and their family (subsistence small businesses). The innovation of subsistence small businesses is very important in poorer areas of developing countries. Usually, the innovation systems condition the innovation of the companies, but the small size and the peripheral region can condition this effect. The research analyzes the effect of the different typology of sources of knowledge to increase the innovation capability in these businesses, combining regression with partial least squares. The research shows that external and internal sources of knowledge are important to increase innovation capability, and informal sources of knowledge are more important that formal sources, suggesting political actions to improve this process.

Purpose Small-scale forestry-based enterprising communities are particularly associated with their territory and, therefore, are very conditioned by the local culture. This paper aims to explore the relationship between culture and competitiveness in small-scale Latin-American forestry-based enterprising communities. Design/methodology/approach This study used 212 surveys in companies linked to the production, industrialisation and commercialisation sector of the forestry industry in the province of Misiones (Argentina), using partial least squares to analyse the relationships thereof. Findings Culture and competitive advantages improve the growth of small-scale timber businesses and growth, in turn, increases financial performance. However, culture does not have an impact on competitive advantage and no interaction effect of culture on competitive advantage was detected. The results can indicate that there might be a need to incorporate other concepts and operationalisation that are better suited to the geographical and industrial contexts in developing countries. Research limitations/implications The literature and measures used to operationalise variables in the survey did not necessarily succeed in capturing the culture in the studied small- and medium-sized enterprises. In addition, the design of the sample and subjective measures may partially condition the results. Practical implications For business managers and consultants, this study indicates that they must take into account the local culture to improve performance. Entrepreneurs must reorient the company strategy towards the long term, integrating local culture into their strategy to generate competitive advantages. Social implications Political authorities and social agents should also take into consideration the cultural aspects of the territory when implementing regulations and specific actions to improve the industry and strengthen the sense of community. The results highlight the vitality of animators and development agencies and of any factor that fosters social cohesion. Originality/value The paper shows a new approach to the relationship between culture and competitiveness in small-scale forestry-based enterprising communities, combining performance in a formal sector with the bazaar model.

The concept of leadership is complex and has been studied from multiple approaches, especially from the psychological field and from the field of management. Small businesses created as way of subsistence for the entrepreneur and their family present a limited leadership. The cultural traditions of the forestry industry are based on the culture and indigenous know-how of the territory, especially affecting small timber businesses, the small businesses working in timber activities. This paper analyzed the interrelation between culture and leadership in the process of generating performance from sustainable competitive advantages using partial least squares (PLS) techniques. The results show that culture and leaderships are sources of competitive advantage in subsistence small businesses, but culture does not generate competitiveness directly; an organizational culture needs to act through entrepreneurial leadership.
