Abstract

This chapter presents an in-depth analysis on the relationship between intellectual capital and business performance in view to highlight gaps in the knowledge of women entrepreneurship in Malaysian small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The creation of intellectual capital is crucial to cope with organizational competitive issues in the present dynamics of globalized economics. A conceptual model is developed linking different dimensions of intellectual capital to business performance. In doing so, the sample of 167 respondents from women SME entrepreneurs in Kelantan was utilized. The survey data were analyzed using SPSS version 22. The results of the study reveal that intellectual capital significantly influences business performance. This enables entrepreneurs and scholars to make appropriate decisions that can foster business progress. Moreover, the empirical study presented in this chapter is the first of its kind over women SMEs from multiple sectors operating in Kelantan state located at the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
