- Disclosure of intellectual capital in mediterranean countriesPublication . Martins, Maria Manuela; Morais, Ana; Isidro, HelenaThis article presents the results of an investigation into the state of research in intellectual capital in the Mediterranean context through the analysis of 15 studies published in journals. The purpose of this study is to conduct a survey of papers on disclosure of intellectual capital information in Mediterranean countries. The results show the majority of studies on disclosure of intellectual capital in Mediterranean countries are made in European countries. France, Greece, Italy, Jordan, Portugal and Spain were the only ones of the 26 Mediterranean countries to examine the disclosure of intellectual capital, and the two countries of the Iberian Peninsula are responsible for ten of these papers..
- A divulgação do capital intelectual em Portugal na primeira década do século XXIPublication . Martins, Maria Manuela; Morais, Ana; Isidro, HelenaEste estudo tem como objectivo o estudo da divulgação voluntária de capital intelectual nos relatórios anuais de 32 empresas cotadas na Euronext Lisbon, ininterruptamente de 2001 a 2009. Este estudo difere dos estudos anteriores uma vez que procura analisar a evolução, ao longo dos anos, da divulgação do capital intelectual em Portugal. Os resultados deste estudo indicam que os níveis de divulgação de capital intelectual são muito reduzidos não tendo sido registado um aumento, estatisticamente significativo, no nível de divulgação. Os resultados ainda indicam que em 2001 a categoria de capital intelectual com maior divulgação foi a do capital externo, enquanto nos anos de 2003 e 2005 a categoria com maior nível de divulgação foi a categoria do capital interno. Nos anos de 2007 e 2009 as categorias de capital externo e capital interno apresentam proporções de divulgação muito semelhantes. A categoria do capital humano é a categoria com menor nível de divulgação.
- Intellectual capital disclosure: the portuguese casePublication . Maria Manuela, Martins; Morais, Ana; Isidro, Helena; Laureano, RaulThe purpose of this research is to identify the factors that can explain practices of voluntary disclosure of information on intellectual capital (IC). This is an empirical quantitative study that seeks to examine the influence of certain firm characteristics (firm size, auditor type, ownership concentration, industry, proportion of non-executive directors (NEDs) on the board, chairman/CEO duality and audit committee) on intellectual capital disclosure (ICD) in Portuguese companies. ICD data for this longitudinal study were gathered from the annual reports of 32 Portuguese listed firms over 5 years using content analysis. The results of this study indicate that firm size and industry are explanatory factors of the level of disclosure of information on intellectual capital. One of the limitations of the empirical part of the study derives from choosing the content analysis method because it is subject to the subjectivity of interpretation. Another limitation is the small sample size and the application only to Portugal which reduces the ability to generalize the results to other settings. This study contributes to the IC literature, providing new empirical data covering the analysis of 5 years of disclosure related to corporate governance.
