Relationships Among Intellectual Capital, Uncertain Knowledge and Culture
This exploratory study examined the uncertainty of knowledge within an organization’s environment and its impact on the retention and development of intellectual capital (IC). It further explored the extent that certain internal cultural features impact IC. Findings suggest that as knowledge uncertainty increases, IC opportunities are lost in greater numbers, there are more individual and organizational disconnections, and there is a greater suppression of IC. These outcomes suggest the need for a greater emphasis on IC where knowledge uncertainty is high. Cultural characteristics relating to organizational individualism, high power distance, and short-term orientation can be detrimental to the retention and creation of IC.
