Mutual influence of intellectual capital and information technologies of management

To date, there is a generally accepted idea of intellectual capital, and approaches have been developed to measure it at the micro and macro levels. Methods of patent analytics for the analysis of technological trends have been developed. At the conceptual level, it is known that there is a mutual influence of intellectual capital and technological trends, but there are no methodological developments for quantifying such influence using data from various sources. The purpose of the study was to quantify the mutual influence of national intellectual capital and modern management information technologies at the macro level. The mathematical foundations for the distinction of the components of intellectual capital and technologies were considered. The hypothesis about the statistical significance of the mutual influence of intellectual capital and management information technologies was confirmed. The dependence was approximated by linear regression of the intellectual capital index on the logarithm of the country's patent activity index in the field of IT management methods, which can be interpreted as a slowdown in the growth of the intellectual capital index when a certain level of patent activity is reached. It has been established that the more developed the economy, the higher the level of intellectual capital and the higher level of dissemination of IT management methods. China and India are clear exceptions to this pattern. China, which is an upper-middle-income country, demonstrates higher than the countries of its level of economic development, interconnected values of the index of intellectual capital, and the prevalence of IT-management methods. India, ranked 3rd among lower-middle-income countries, has commensurate rates of development of intellectual capital and the spread of IT-management methods with upper-middle-income countries. Further research may be related to testing hypotheses about quantitative relationships between intellectual capital and technological development via the proposed method. It is necessary to detail the identified dependencies by IPC codes and components of intellectual capital and identify dependencies for other technological areas.
