A Bibliometric Analysis of the Role of the Intellectual Capital in the Organizational Agility and Performance

The aim of this paper is to present a bibliometric analysis of the literature focusing on the role of the intellectual capital in the organizational agility and performance. The methodology used is based on a bibliometric analysis that was performed with the specialized software VOSviewer. The analysis graphically illustrates nine semantic clusters that are presenting the co-citation distances between various concepts that are related to the search expressions that were used, including “intellectual capital”, “performance” and “agility”. When it comes to the database, there were used the papers published in journals that were indexed in Scopus. The outcomes of this research paper are the graphical representation of the semantic clusters for the already mentioned searched expressions and a series of tables that include the content analysis of the nine clusters and other data of interest concerning the publications (such as the top 10 countries that published articles related to the topic of interest and the types of documents retrieved). The findings are demonstrating that there is a consistent link between innovation, intellectual capital, knowledge management, performance and agility. The contribution of this research comes from the fact that it is the first bibliometric analysis of the correlation between intellectual capital, performance and agility, as reflected in the papers retrieved from Scopus.
