Mini Track proposal at the 9th European Conference on Intellectual Capital "Intellectual Capital: its application in practice"
The researcher Cecilia Murcia Rivera proposed a Mini Track on Linking Dynamic Capabilities and Intellectual capital to strengthen SMEs, which has been approved to be part of the 9th European conference on intellectual capital, which this year it focuses on the application of Intellectual Capital in practice.
Dynamic capability is the ability of an organisation to integrate, build, and reconfigure internal and external competences to address rapidly changing environments. Furthermore, the maturity level of intellectual capital management capability (ICMC) models can be measured through the development and deployment of dynamic capabilities and this is particularly valuable in the case of small and medium sized organisations (SMEs).
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
- Explaining the link between Dynamic capabilities and Intellectual Capital.
- Measuring Intellectual Capital and Dynamic Capabilities.
- Effects of Intellectual Capital and Dynamic Capabilities on firm performance.
- Cases of application in SMEs.
