Abstract :
In Nigeria, most of the interests of scholars and policy makers are on the competitiveness of the economy. Very little is said about firm-level competitiveness. In view of this, this study interrogates the influence of intellectual capital management on firm financial
competitiveness. Financial competitiveness is measured using financial performance proxies (return on assets, return on equity and asset turnover). Intellectual capital management is measured by value added intellectual coefficient score, human capital efficiency, structural capital efficiency and capital employed efficiency. The analysis is based on oil and gas firms listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange and covers the period 2006 to 2018. Results indicate that capital employed and human capital have significant positive effects on return on assets. However, structural capital shows significant negative effect on return on assets. The study, therefore, recommends that management of oil and gas firms should increase their investment in capital employed and human capital while reducing investment in structural capital.
