Summary
In this paper we apply the measurements of intellectual capital focusing on the human capital efficiency (HCE), the structural capital efficiency (SCE), the intellectual capital efficiency (ICE) and the value added intellectual coefficient (VAICTM ) developed by Pulic (2000; 2004) for non financial companies listed at Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE) using accounting data published with their financial statements for the period 2005-2009. The research is focused on companies in the manufacturing and tourism industry in order to derive any particularities in the measurements. The financial industry is excluded from the study as being specific. At this moment and at our knowledge, there’s no significant research on the value added of intellectual capital of Bulgarian non – financial industry. We extended the formula of intellectual capital valuation and arrived at the conclusion, that intellectual capital is playing an important role in the value creation process in companies listed at BSE. The relationship between the components of VAIC TM and the Tobin’s Q indicator characterizing the market performance of public companies.
