Mapping the impact of the intellectual capital on the agility and performance of an organization: a bibliometric study

Summary/Abstract: Research Background: In a changing environment, it is very important for the organizations to understand that the intellectual capital represents an asset for the organization, as it can impact its agility and performance. While previous research has explored the relationship between intellectual capital, agility, and performance, there is a need for a comprehensive understanding of the knowledge landscape and for the research trends when it comes to this topic. Thus, a bibliometric analysis offers a systematic and quantitative approach to map the intellectual structure, identify influential studies, and uncover emerging themes and gaps in the literature. Purpose of the article: The purpose of this research is to present a bibliometric analysis of the literature focusing on the impact of the intellectual capital in the organizational agility and performance. Methods: The methodology employed in this study is centered around a bibliometric analysis conducted using the specialized software VOSviewer. This analysis visually represents nine semantic clusters that depict the co-citation relationships among various concepts related to the search terms utilized, such as "intellectual capital," "performance," and "agility." The study utilized papers published in Scopus-indexed journals as the database. Findings and value added: The research paper's outcomes consist of graphical representations of the semantic clusters associated with the aforementioned search terms, alongside tables presenting content analysis of these clusters and other relevant publication data (e.g., top 10 countries contributing to the topic and document types retrieved). The findings unequivocally establish a significant correlation between innovation, intellectual capital, knowledge management, performance, and agility. This research makes a notable contribution as the first bibliometric analysis exploring the interrelation of intellectual capital, performance, and agility, as evidenced by the papers retrieved from the Scopus database.
