The export performance of companies is influenced by various internal and external factors, some of the internal factors, such as knowledge of target markets and presence in international production networks, are among the companies' intellectual capital. The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of intellectual capital and its components on export and sales of the company. This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive in terms of data collection. To estimate the intellectual capital, we used the Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC) method, and to measure exports, we used the ratio of export to total sales, and we also used multivariate regression analysis to investigate the impact of two variables. The data is for a 5-year period (2015 to 2019) from all the manufacturing companies present in the Tehran Stock Exchange (195 companies) were selected. The results of the hypothesis test indicate a positive relationship between intellectual capital and export as well as sale. Of course, contrary to the initial expectation, there was no evidence of the effectiveness of human and structural capital on the export and total. Also, physical capital, as one of the components of Value Added Intellectual Coefficient calculation, has a positive impact on the export and sales. These results can be indicative of the fact that among the major listed companies of the country, knowledge-oriented components of intellectual capital such as human capital and structural capital have not found their real place in influencing international performance in comparison with physical capital.

Inter-organizational knowledge sharing is crucial for the scientific, social, and economic development of societies. Knowledge sharing processes and systems are challenged not only by individual and organizational factors but also by social, technical, and political inter-organizational contributors. The majority of existing researches have focused on situations such as interactive supply chains, virtual organizations, and multinational organizations, so that it can be said that Inter-organizational knowledge sharing is neglected in collaborative processes. This paper examines inter-organizational knowledge sharing in a collaborative project in which independent public organizations work together for providing social care for students. This research aims to investigate the impact of the variables of knowledge worker, peers, inter-organizational knowledge-sharing system, organization, and coalition on sharing knowledge in multiple inter-organizational relationships. This quantitative correlational study employed a 44-item questionnaire, which was distributed among the system users in Alborz province. The sample size was calculated using Cochran’s formula, and for sampling, proportional stratified sampling method was used. The SmartPLS3 software was used to develop a confirmatory factor analysis model and structural equations, while SPSS software was employed for descriptive statistical tests. In this study, the impact of the knowledge worker, peers, sharing system, organization, and coalition on knowledge sharing via interorganizational knowledge sharing systems was confirmed, among which the variables of the knowledge worker and peers exerted the greatest impact on knowledge sharing which shows the main priorities of managers to improve knowledge transfer functions in this system.
