Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to find the existence of the components of intellectual capital in SMEs operating in the electrical and electronics manufacturing sector in Malaysia. To find the objective of this study, a valid research instrument was established to conduct a survey of 237 from 77 SMEs operating in Penang and Selangor. A descriptive statistical analysis was conducted to explore the existence of the six components of intellectual capital, namely human capital, customer capital, structural capital, social capital, technological capital, and spiritual capital in SMEs operating in the electrical and electronics manufacturing sector. The results reveal that the respondents of Malaysian SMEs perceive that the six components of intellectual capital play a pivotal role in competitive advantage and superior performance.
