This essential Research Handbook examines the state-of-the-art
methodologies being applied to the expanding field of intellectual
capital (IC) research. It offers an overview of the contemporary
issues and methods in the field, providing insight and inspiration
for emerging and established academics in their own research.
Featuring contributions from a variety of renowned international
scholars in the area, the Research Handbook is divided into four
parts, outlining the four main methodological routes taken by
current IC research. First, chapters discuss content analysis and
offer future perspectives for advancing such studies. The book then
examines fruitful avenues for IC visualization studies, before
critiquing and furthering IC value added and IC efficiency
measurement studies. Finally, it analyses and offers novel
approaches for studying and intervening with IC and value creation.
This Research Handbook will be a vital resource for scholars and
students of business and management entering the field of
intellectual capital, whether they are established academics with a
renewed interest in the subject or just starting their research
careers.

Among the significant repercussions of the coronavirus pandemic is
escalating public questioning of the desirability and
sustainability of the market economy and the societal role of
business. These concerns are linked to merger and acquisition
(M&A) activity, with significant disruptive consequences for
stakeholder relationships and their management. This book explores
these changes, moving away from the traditional focus on the
financial and strategic aspects of M&A and its rational,
technocratic approach. Viewing M&A activity as economic,
political, and social (EPS) processes, Segal provides a dialectic
understanding of stakeholder relationships around M&A activity
and challenges the view that M&A activity is static, linear,
and predictable. He develops a conceptual framework to enable
practitioners, researchers and policymakers to identify, understand
and address the stakeholder and management implications of M&A
activity. This is applied to four case studies that make explicit
how complex stakeholder relationships play out around M&A and
how these power dynamics were managed with different balances.
Useful for academics, researchers, managers, advisors, investors,
analysts, and other stakeholders, this book highlights the need to
understand the EPS implications and processes involved around
M&A.
This book is the first comprehensive methodological guide for
accounting researchers on Interventionist Research (IVR). It
provides all the fundamental components needed for understanding
what IVR is, and how to plan, design, and conduct legitimate
intervention studies, which can endure the scrutiny of institutions
and peer review. This text systematically opens the 'black box' of
an alternative research paradigm seeking to contribute
simultaneously to theory and practice, through direct and
collaborative engagement with organisations, practitioners,
managers and professionals. It mobilises the production of
innovative and theoretically grounded research for academe, and of
practical relevance or usefulness and interest to the field of
practice. Interventionist Research in Accounting: A Methodological
Approach unpacks current thinking on IVR to forge a confident path
ahead for IVR through adopting a forward-thinking approach. This
book recognises the remedial potential of IVR to address the
research-practice-relevance gap in accounting research and
deliberates the challenges of IVR in accounting. It addresses the
design, development, and implementation of interventions, critical
to solving real-world problems as well as guiding readers in
planning the IVR project including budgetary and ethical aspects,
utilising suitable research methods and data collection techniques,
and establishing validity and reliability. Further, it offers
guidance on selecting and managing the research team and
recruiting, accessing, and retaining intervention participants;
these two components are crucial to creating collaborative
relationships required for effective intervention. This book is a
guide serving as a valuable resource for accounting researchers
conducting intervention studies, for doctoral and other research
students undertaking accounting research, and academics working in
universities and business schools or teaching courses in accounting
and research methodology.
The Routledge Companion to Intellectual Capital offers a
comprehensive overview of an important field that has seen a
diverse range of developments in research in recent years. Edited
by leading scholars and with contributions from top academics and
practitioners from around the world, this volume will provide not
just theoretical analysis but also evaluate practice through case
studies. Combining theoretical and practice perspectives, this
comprehensive Companion addresses the role of IC inside and between
organisations and institutions and how these contribute to the IC
of nations, regions and clusters. Drawing on an extensive range of
leading contributors,The Routledge Companion to Intellectual
Capital will be of interest to scholars who want to understand IC
from a variety of perspectives, as well as students who are seeking
an authoritative and comprehensive source on IC and knowledge
management.
The growing body of research on business models draws upon a range
of sub-disciplines, including strategic management,
entrepreneurship, organization studies and management accounting.
Business Models: A Research Overview provides a research map for
business scholars, incorporating theoretical and applied
perspectives. It develops the field of business model research by
offering a critique of the field as it has developed to date and
provides a guide for future research and theorization. The research
performed as a basis for this book improves and extends prior
subjective and less-documented work by using a scientific approach
to identifying impactful research. The book argues that business
model research is a mature field and that future research should
focus on performative and ecosystem-based contributions, with the
timely identification of four distinct stages of business model
research. The study here provokes a new set of research questions,
which are addressed in the concluding passages of Chapters 5–8,
as a point of departure for those researching business models. This
book is essential primary reading for scholars and practitioners of
business models who are looking to seek out new knowledge and build
new perspectives.
