The paper refers to the discussion of measuring and assessing knowledge capital. In particular, the interconnectedness of the intangible resources in organizations is not well represented in the methodical approaches. Moreover, the identification of driver resources which is strongly connected with this question is far from being solved in a satisfactory manner. Therefore, this article reviews existing methods of the scenario analysis in view of the performance measurement discussion and contributes towards an advanced analysis of resources in organizations.

Yes / Despite the burgeoning interests in the environmental strategy, there is a limited understanding of how human resource slack drives sustainable innovation and environmental performance. This paper contributes to filling this gap by examining the effect of human resource slack on sustainable innovation and its impact on environmental performance. Besides, this paper investigates the contingent effects of intangible resource advantage on this relationship. The hypotheses are tested using data from 301 small and medium‐sized enterprises in Ghana. The results suggest that human resource slack positively relates to sustainable innovation and this relationship is moderated by intangible resource advantage. Also, we find that sustainable innovation mediates the relationship between human resource slack and environmental performance. The insights from our paper provide a nuanced understanding of the relationships among human resource lack, sustainable innovation, and environmental performance. Implications for theory and practices are discussed. / University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Objetivou-se analisar se existe relação entre o investimento de recursos intangíveis e o desempenho econômico-financeiro das empresas dos setores elétrico e financeiro, com ações listadas na BM&FBOVESPA. Em termos metodológicos, utilizou-se o Value Added Intellectual Coefficient - VAICTM, como coeficiente de valor agregado dos recursos intangíveis, proposto por Pulic (2000). A análise das evidências foi realizada em três amostras. A primeira, composta por 137 empresas, com evidências correspondentes a dois anos. A segunda, formada por 23 empresas do setor elétrico, com evidências correspondentes a oito anos. A terceira, constituída por 21 empresas do setor financeiro, com evidências correspondentes a oito anos. Utilizou-se a técnica de mínimos quadrados ordinários com dados em painel. A primeira análise não apresentou resultados estatisticamente significativos, não se comprovando a relação explicativa entre recursos intangíveis e desempenho econômico-financeiro das empresas. Nas amostras do setor elétrico e financeiro, os resultados foram estatisticamente significativos. Verificou-se que, para o desempenho econômico-financeiro das empresas, o capital financeiro e o capital humano são mais explicativos do que o capital estrutural. / This research presents the results of an empiric study about intangible resource² grounded on the theory of Resources and Capacity – Resource-Based View of the Firm (RBV). The objective was to analyze if there is any relation between the investments of intangible resource and the performance economic-financial of companies from Electric and Financial sectors, the ones with shares listed on BM&FBOVESPA. The Value Added Intellectual Coefficient – VAIC™ was used as a methodological approach, as add value coefficient of the intangible resource, proposed by Pulic (2000). The evidence analysis was made in three samples. The first sample was composed by 137 companies, corresponding to two years of evidences. The second one was composed by 23 companies of the electric sector, with eight years of evidences. And the third sample was composed by 21 financial companies, with eight years of evidences. It was used the ordinary least square with panel data. The first analyzes did not present any statistically significant results, so it was not possible to explain relation between intangible resource and financial-economic performance of the companies. The results were statistically significant on the electrical and financial sector’s samples. It was verified that financial and human capital are more explicative than the structural capital for companies’ economic-financial performance.
