Bibliographic research on the linkages between intellectual capital and Industry 4.0
Summary
Researchers conducted a bibliometric analysis of publications in the Web of Science from 1980 to 2022 to map conceptual linkages between intellectual capital and Industry 4.0, analyzing 24,671 records using descriptive statistics, co-occurrence analysis, and co-authorship and citation analyses visualized with VOSviewer. The study reveals that the relationships between intellectual capital and Industry 4.0 remain poorly understood and provides a bibliographic foundation for further development of this research area.
The modern world is changing rapidly. A new knowledge-based economy pushes companies and countries to pay attention not only to the products but also to the intellectual capital. This paper uses a bibliometric study to map the conceptual approach of the Relationship between intellectual capital and Industry 4.0 for 1980 – 2022. For this study, we used the Web of Science as a main database for data collection. During the period 1980 – 2022, we filtered 24 671 records for our final sample. Collected data were analysed with descriptive statistics, co-occurrence analysis, co-authorship and citation analyses. VOSviewer was used for further visualisation of results. As these linkages are not well understood yet, this paper has added value to developing these relationships from a bibliographic point of view.
