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.

Considering the important role of intellectual capital as one of the elements of managerial progress in today's turbulent environment, the world has become a global village. The present study aims to investigate "the relationship between intellectual capital management and its performance and dimensions in the employees of general libraries of Golestan province ".The type of research is descriptive and its method is analytical-survey. The research population included all of the staff of 15 general libraries in Golestan province with a number 158 from which 113 employees were selected with simple random sampling. Bontis standard intellectual capital management questionnaires and the Achio performance questionnaire were used for evaluating this sample. The analysis of the findings was done using descriptive and inferential statistics.The findings show that the average intellectual capital of employees, with an average of 3.31, is moderate to high. Also, there is a significant and positive relationship between human, structural, and communicational capital management and the performance of staff, and its dimensions. Among the seven dimensions of performance, the motivation dimension, as the first factor, had a positive impact on employee productivity.Originality: If intellectual capital is constantly present in the organization, one can expect the high performance of the organization and, consequently, the satisfaction of the employees and clients. To generate value in an organization, the intangible assets that are potentially available must be acted upon. Human, structural, and communicational capitals as components of intellectual capital can have a positive impact on the performance of library staff. The staff at the library, produce knowledge to distribute it for others (human capital), work with each other to improve the library services (structural capital), and improve the external communications of the library through a better understanding of users and customers (communicative capital).
