Abstract

The current study examines the connection between the concepts of environmental management and intellectual capital to enable the proposal of a model to measure green intellectual capital for Malaysian environmentally sensitive companies. As of now, the indicators for measuring green intellectual capital for companies have been inconsistent and vary in practices. The indicators in the current study are developed based on the integration of intellectual capital studies and the ‘Hart-Type resource domain’, which is originated from the Natural Resource-based theory (NRBV), one of the well known environmental management theory. Thus, the current study offers some dimensions which highlight four essential components of green intellectual capital, namely as green human capital, green innovation capital, green process capital and green social capital. The current study is motivated to produce one measurement model on green intellectual capital which is applicable to all environmentally sensitive companies in Malaysia
