Balancing innovation and exploitation in the fourth industrial revolution: Role of intellectual capital and technology absorptive capacity
Abstract Industry 4.0, which features the Internet of things (IoT) cloud computing, big data, digitalization, and cyber physical systems, is transforming the way businesses are being run. It is making the business processes more autonomous, automated and intelligent, and is transmuting the organizational structures of businesses by digitalizing their end to end business processes. In this context, balancing innovation and exploitation organization's ambidexterity while stepping into the fourth industrial revolution can be critical for organizational capability. This study examines the role of intellectual capital (IC) human capital, structural capital and relational capital in balancing the innovation and exploitation activities. It also examines the role of technology's absorptive capacity in the relationship between IC and organizational ambidexterity (OA) Data were collected from 217 small and medium enterprises from the manufacturing sector of Pakistan using a closed ended Likert scale based questionnaire. The study employs partial least square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS SEM) for data analysis. Findings indicate a profound influence of all dimensions of IC, both overall and by dimensions on organizations' ambidexterity. Findings also exhibit a significant partial mediating role of technology absorptive capacity (TAC) in the association of IC and ambidexterity. The findings of the study emphasize the creation of specific policies aimed to develop IC of a firm, which in turn can enable a firm to maintain a balance between innovation and market exploitation activities. The study integrates the TAC with the IC OA relationship, which is the novelty of the study.

Joint forces: Towards an integration of intellectual capital theory and the open innovation paradigm
Abstract Intellectual capital (IC) is among the most long lived topics in managerial literature. More recently, the emergence of the open innovation (OI) paradigm has encouraged the understanding that firms should collaborate with other organizations to leverage their own R&D capabilities. We propose that these two streams of managerial literature should join forces since the OI paradigm could be considered an approach to innovation with foundations in relational capital, facilitated by an appropriate level of human and structural capital. Surprisingly, only a few researchers have put IC and OI into relation. Therefore, this paper has two main goals: providing a theoretical model that synoptically presents how IC and OI overlap and testing the theoretical model by analyzing how firms' IC affects OI related performance. We analyze a sample of 3744 Spanish firms. We find that the three IC constructs positively affect OI performance, with relational and human capital subject to diminishing returns.

Innovation and intellectual capital as intermediary variables among transformational leadership, transactional leadership, and organizational performance
The purpose of this paper is to examine the mediating effect of intellectual capital and innovation on the relationship between transformational and transactional leadership and organizational performance in Jordanian banks located in Irbid city.,A questionnaire that targeted 350 respondents resulted in 298 usable ones with a response rate of 85.14 percent. To test the research hypotheses, a structural equation model was conducted, in addition to descriptive statistics that provided background on the respondents.,The findings indicate that transformational and transactional leadership relate positively to organizational performance. The results also support the argument that intellectual capital and innovation played mediating roles in transformational and transactional leadership and organizational performance.,The present study provides managers with empirical proof that possessing strong intellectual capital in its three dimensions seems to help the banking sector in Jordan to reinforce their ability to generate both radical and incremental innovation. Also, applying an effective leadership style will motivate and lead to superior performance.,Although papers have shown that leadership style is an important factor influencing employees' performance and outcomes, this is one of the few studies that investigates the interrelationships between leadership styles, intellectual capital, and innovation on organization performance. Furthermore, it is the first to test the model on the banking sector in Jordan.

Clarifying the effect of organization learning on service innovation: the mediating role of intellectual capital
Abstract The study of intellectual capital has gained interest in today's highly competitive landscape. Using intellectual capital as a mediator, this paper developed an integrated model to examine whether organization learning affects and increases the capacity for new service development (NSD) The results from the study of 598 hotel managers support this model across multi dimensions of intellectual capital and show that intellectual capital plays a mediating role between organizational learning and NSD. This paper also finds exploitative organization learning enhances the positive effect of organization capital because it fosters a positive link between relational capital and human capital. The study also discusses how this intriguing pattern of mediation could be explained by using theory and research with a regulatory focus.

Intellectual capital and firm innovation: incentive effect and selection effect
ABSTRACT We examine the relationship between intellectual capital (measured by manually constructed human capital and organizational capital) and firm innovation of Chinese listed firms. Empirical results show that human capital and organizational capital positively affect the R&D investment and the number of various patent applications. Moreover, the relationship between intellectual capital and innovation activities is influenced by macroeconomic factors, industry characteristics and firm heterogeneity. Therefore, intellectual capital has incentive effect and selection effect on firm innovation in typical developing countries, such as China.
