ABSTRACT
An organization’s inventive capability is determined by its intellectual capital. This
thesis seeks to investigate the impact that individual elements of intellectual capital
have on a company’s subsequent growth. This research presents a system for
categorizing and measuring intellectual capital, focusing on social capital, human
capital, and organizational capital. The goal is to illustrate the impact of
entrepreneurial and intellectual capital-oriented factors to a certain type of innovation
performance and firm success (product, process, marketing and organization) A
questionnaire study was conducted on 400 SMEs in several small and medium
enterprises (SMEs) designated areas in Abuja to this purpose. SPSS 20 was carried out
to analyze 320 questionnaires. The beneficial influence on corporate success is based
on knowledge creation, Innovation capabilities, and entrepreneurial orientation.
The proposed hypotheses were analyzed using linear regressions. According to the
study’s conclusion, firms should invest more in Intellectual Capital and
Entrepreneurial Orientation to guarantee that knowledge management stays effective
and efficient, leading to growth and productivity. This research paper significantly
adds to current form of information in intellectual capital, entrepreneurial orientation,
innovation capability, and knowledge management in SMEs.
