    Abstract:

    This research seeks to find an answer to the question of whether there is a relationship between company management mechanisms and intellectual capital?

    In order to measure intellectual capital, various classifications have been presented, one of these classifications has been proposed by Polik called (intellectual capital added value), which consists of three components: efficiency of communication capital, efficiency of human capital, and efficiency of structural capital. In this research, based on the model (added value of intellectual capital), the value of the intellectual capital of the companies admitted to the Tehran Stock Exchange was calculated, and then its relationship with the management mechanisms of the company was investigated. The external mechanisms of the company's management are the percentage of institutional investors and the percentage of major investors, and the internal mechanisms of the company's management are the ownership percentage of the board of directors and the number of directors, the number of non-executive directors and the ratio of non-executive directors to the board of directors, the dual role of the CEO. And also the whole issue was investigated in different industries, to test the hypotheses of the research, the panel data method was used using the information of 88 companies during the years 1383 to 1387. The general results of the research show that the percentage of institutional investors, the percentage of non-obligatory managers and the duality of the role of the CEO have a positive and significant relationship with intellectual capital and the number of non-obligatory managers have a negative and significant relationship with intellectual capital and in the rest of the cases there is a significant relationship between Internal and external management mechanisms of the company and intellectual capital were not observed.

    Key words: management mechanisms of the company, intellectual capital, political model, panel data, Tehran Stock Exchange

     

     

    Introduction:

    The appropriate management system of companies seeks to establish a codified framework and appropriate mechanisms to establish a balanced relationship between the interests of shareholders on the one hand and controlling or majority shareholders on the other hand, and in newer perspectives, it is oriented towards paying serious attention to the rights of all stakeholder groups, the community, the capital market, and all companies. Since the 70s, the growth pattern of the world economy has fundamentally changed, and following that, knowledge has replaced monetary and physical capital as the most important capital. One of the characteristics of knowledge is that it is intangible, that is, it is intangible and valuing and measuring it is very difficult and difficult. In the past, organizations were able to fully calculate the value and size of their production using accounting methods, but today, these accounting methods do not have the necessary efficiency. Knowledge is considered as one of the most important components of intangible assets. If in the past, most of the assets of organizations were tangible, but today most of the assets of organizations are intangible.

    Organizations are entering the knowledge-based economy, an economy in which knowledge and intangible assets are recognized as the most important competitive advantage of organizations. One of the components of intangible assets is intellectual capital, which has an important impact on the organization's performance and strategic implementation, therefore, the identification, measurement and management of intellectual capital is of particular importance and leads to the observation of the true value of organizations.

    Introduction

    The growth and development and use of technologies is perhaps the most obvious example of human progress. After the industrial revolution, the country's economy based on land and labor gradually gave way to an industrial economy, an economy that depended on the capital factor to acquire and apply technology and then labor and land, and now in the third millennium, an attitude has been placed on the path of modern nations and organizations, which is referred to as a knowledge-based economy and society, or a service or information economy, which is of course indebted to the emergence and development of information and communications.

    Attention to knowledge and intellectual capital as the main factor of the new economy is increasing day by day. Therefore, by understanding the shortcomings of the attitude of solely relying on technology - especially IT, the role of manpower and human intelligence is getting more attention day by day. Now many researchers, including Stewart, consider intellectual capital. Also, in the industry, the number of companies that have achieved significant success by applying knowledge and paying attention to intellectual assets is increasing.

    Knowledge is considered as one of the most important components of intangible assets. If in the past, most of the assets of the organizations were visible, but today most of the assets of the organizations are invisible (Solion, 2000, 340-328) [1] .

    In the early 21st century, the world witnessed a large number of financial scandals in companies such as Enron, Worldcom, Tyco, Adelphia and Global Crossing. At first glance, it seems that non-compliance with accounting standards by these companies was the main reason for the financial scandal, but when we think a little more, we see that their financial reports have been approved by auditors. For example, in 2007, in his book Corporate Governance and Accountability, Solomon believes that the lack of control and monitoring structures in companies in general, or what he names as the corporate governance system in particular, can be the reason for the occurrence of such events.

    A suitable corporate governance system seeks to establish a codified framework and suitable mechanisms to establish a balanced relationship between the interests of shareholders on the one hand and controlling or majority shareholders. On the other hand, and in more recent perspectives, serious attention has been paid to the rights of all stakeholder groups, society, the capital market, and all companies.

    Given that the existence of corporate governance mechanisms can lead to the improvement of the economic performance of the company, models and methodologies to measure knowledge and intellectual capital to improve these mechanisms seem more necessary day by day in order to create favorable economic growth in the country.

    In this chapter of the research, the researcher briefly and according to the topic of the research, stated the main problem of the research and the necessity of conducting the research, and then went on to the conceptual model of the research, he also stated the objectives of the research and pointed to the variables studied in the research, and finally gave the research hypotheses and definitions of words and terms.

    Abstract:

    This research want to find that there is any relationship between corporate governance and intellectual capital or not?

    Measure intellectual capital categories are presented, one of these categories by Pulic called VAIC (value added intellectual capital) proposed that three components of capital employed efficiency, human capital efficiency and structured capital efficiency. in this study, at first based on the VAIC model, the value of intellectual capital for the companies that they are accepted in Tehran stock exchange is calculated and then the relation of that with corporate governance has been assessed.

    External corporate governance includes the presence of institutional investors and the presence of major investors Internal corporate governance includes the percentage of board's ownership, the size of board, the size of non-executive directors, percentage of non-executive directors, duality of manager's role.

    And also all research has been studied in different industries. For testing research's hypothesis in the way of data panel, we used the information of 88 companies between the year 1383 till 1387.
