Analisis pengungkapan modal intelektual: Perbandingan antara universitas di Indonesia dan Malaysia

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi praktik pengungkapan informasi tentang modal intelektual (IC) pada website universitas di Indonesia dan Malaysia. Penelitian ini menggunakan website 10 universitas terbaik di Indonesia dan Malaysia versi 4ICU (International Colleges & Universities) 2018 sebagai objek kajian. Komponen IC yang digunakan dalam kajian ini adalah framework yang dikembangkan oleh Leitner (2004) yang terdiri dari 36 items: 10 item human capital, 9 item structural capital, dan 17 item relational capital. MannWhitney U digunakan untuk menguji hipotesis. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa ada perbedaan di antara universitas-universitas di Indonesia dan Malaysia dalam mengungkapkan informasi tentang IC melalui website mereka. Secara umum, jumlah pengungkapan informasi IC melalui website universitas di Indonesia dan Malaysia hanya berkisar sampai 50% saja, sisanya tidak diungkapkan. Hal mengindikasikan kesadaran manajemen universitas terhadap pengungkapan MI masih kurang besar. Karenanya diperlukan dorongan dari pemerintah untuk meningkatkan praktik pengungkapan IC ini melalui instrument regulasi.

Intellectual capital disclosure by Chinese and Indian information technology companies

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the extent and quality of voluntary intellectual disclosures by information technology (IT) companies of China and India. Design/methodology/approach – The research method adopted for this study is content analysis. The research is limited to the intellectual capital information disclosed in companies’ annual report. The sample for this research is based on 20 IT companies listed by market capitalization listed on Shenzhen or Shanghai stock exchange market, and the largest 20 companies listed on Indian stock market. Findings – Indian IT companies tends to perform better than Chinese IT companies in extent and quality of disclosures. The extent of disclosure of both countries is at a relatively high level. The most frequently reported disclosure category in India is external capital, while the least one is human capital. In China, external capital is the most frequently disclosed category, while the internal capital is the least one. Research limitations/implications – The sample size of the study is relatively small. Future research can expand on the sample size to get an overview of the intellectual capital disclosure, and conduct a longitudinal study to capture the trend of reporting practices. Practical implications – The findings of this study have implications for policy makers and standard setters for rethinking of inclusion of intellectual capital disclosure in annual reports as compulsory items. This will not only add tot he quality of information but various stakeholders will be able to make an assessment of the values of a firm. Originality/value – Previous studies of intellectual capital (IC) disclosure have covered little on the relationship between market capitalization and quality of disclosure and cross-country disclosure on IC. This research tends to extend the literature on IC disclosure.

Determinants of intellectual capital disclosure: evidence from Australia

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine determinants of the decision to disclose intellectual capital in annual reports.Design/methodology/approachThe paper derives theoretical predictions from the previous literature and bases the study on archival data with a sample of 125 publicly listed Australian firms. The authors perform a content analysis of annual reports and complement the data with quantitative data from the sample firms.FindingsThe paper finds that industry type plays a key role as a determinant for the disclosure of intellectual property in annual reports. In addition, firm size is another determinant for intellectual disclosure of firms. In contrast with earlier studies and theoretical predictions of voluntary disclosure, however, the paper does not find any relationship between the level of information asymmetry and intellectual capital disclosure.Research limitations/implicationsOne limitation refers to the content analysis. Analyzing the annual reports based on the specified list of IC‐related terms may not provide the whole picture as well as the IC disclosure practices. Despite these limitations, the study helps to understand better in general what kind of firms actually disclose information on intellectual capital.Originality/valueIn contrast with earlier studies the study uses significantly more observations, which makes the results more reliable and generalizable. Of further significance is the finding that information asymmetry – one of the main problems between investors and firms – is not driving the decision of firms to disclose information on intellectual capital.
