Resumo

No contexto em que a concorrência entre as empresas está se tornando cada vez mais evidente hoje em dia, a exploração do capital intelectual das empresas para ajudá-las a aumentar sua competitividade é considerada uma das prioridades que as empresas devem realizar. Para esclarecer o impacto do capital intelectual sobre a inovação em pequenas e médias empresas no Delta do Mekong, o estudo realizou uma pesquisa com 253 empresas, incluindo 82 empresas que operam no setor industrial, 91 empresas que operam no setor agrícola e 80 empresas que operam no setor de serviços. O autor conduziu a pesquisa em duas etapas: pesquisa qualitativa e pesquisa quantitativa. Além disso, o método de análise de dados escolhido pelo autor foi (1) análise fatorial exploratória EFA; (2) análise fatorial confirmatória CFA; (3) teste do modelo usando equação estrutural linear SEM. Os resultados da estimativa do modelo estrutural linear (SEM) mostram que os componentes "Capital humano" e "Capital organizacional" são mais dominantes do que o "Capital social" e afetam as atividades de inovação das empresas e têm um impacto positivo. As atividades de inovação têm um impacto positivo no desempenho dos negócios, sendo que o impacto mais forte e decisivo é a "inovação de processo", seguida pela "inovação organizacional", a terceira é a "inovação de marketing" e a menor é a "inovação de produto".
