Abstract:  
Intellectual capital (Intellectual capital -IC or intangible asset) has long been known as  
a key factor to the success of enterprises especially human capital. Human capital is defined as  
the knowledge, experience, capabilities as well as skills, creativity and human initiatives which  
are considered as very important resources in most of enterprises. This is especially true when  
applying for small and medium-sized enterprises, where the success of the business is primarily  
based on the qualifications and motivation of the employees.  
Although intellectual capital has been increasingly attracted in current studies, it is  
mainly considered in terms of creating asset value rather than liabilities and only a few in these  
studies mentioned intellectual capital in terms of risks or hazards. In other words, the risks  
related to intellectual capital have not been widely discussed in recent studies.  
This study aims to examine the problems arising from intellectual capital under the  
perspective of risk, which based on an overview of the theoretical basis and present the  
experiences of Finnish enterprises in using insurance as a popular tool to manage risks of the  
human resource in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Based on that, the research  
suggested some lessons for small and medium-sized enterprises in Vietnam.

1. Introduction  
Intellectual capital and the elements of intellectual capital (intellectual capital - IC or  
intangible assets) has long been known as a key element to the success of businesses (Edvinsson  
and Malone, 1997; Sveiby, 1997; Kujansivu and Lönnqvist, 2007). Especially human  
capital, which is defined as the knowledge, experiences, ability, skills and creativity of  
individuals and the initiatives (Edvinsson and Malone, 1997), has been an important resource in  
most enterprises (Pfeffer, 1994). This is more evident in the context of small and medium-sized  
enterprises (SMEs), where the success of enterprises mainly relies on maintenance of  
qualifications and motivation of staff.  
Although the interest in current studies has gone sky high because of intellectual capital,  
it is primarily considered in terms of creating asset value rather than assets and only a few in  
these studies considered intellectual capital in terms of risk. In other words, the risks associated  
with intellectual capital have not been widely discussed in current studies (Harvey and Lusch,  
1997, 1999; Caddy, 2000; Stam, 2009).  
If intangible assets create value for the company, there are many things that create debts  
invisibly and have not been recorded and recognized (Harvey and Lusch, 1999). Although there  
were several studies demonstrating the viability of intellectual risks in regulations of law on  
intellectual capital (Harvey and Lusch, 1999; Caddy, 2000; Kupi et al., 2008; Stam,2009), but its  
importance is still underestimated.  
It can be affirmed that if intellectual capital can improve organizational productivity the  
losses related to intangible assets are very important (Jääskeläinen, 2011). Some intangible assets  
such as intellectual property rights, contracts, trademarks and logos are legally protected (Harvey  
and Lusch, 1997) while the intangible assets for example workers' knowledge and skills have not  
been got the same protection. The ambiguity of ownership related to human capital increases the  
risk of loss for business since the intellectual capital is owned by individuals, not by businesses.

Considering the issue in the context of small and medium-sized enterprises, many authors  
have agreed that the loss of knowledge through employees turnover is an alarming issue especially  
for small businesses. (Wong and Radcliffe, 2000; Wickert and Herschel, 2001; Finn and Phillips,  
2002). Schiuma et. al (2012) argue that the impact of human capital risk increases as the size of the  
company decreases. Therefore, based on an overview of the literature on intellectual capital and  
human resources, this paper provides a picture of the risks associated with human  
capital, emphasizing their effects in the context of small and medium-sized enterprises. In  
addition, this study adds to the discussion of protection of knowledge assets by providing a  
practical tool to manage risks through insurance. The ability to apply insurance for human capital  
risk management is synthesized through a qualitative study at an insurance company in Finland  
based on research by Schiuma et al. (2012) . The results show that the types of insurance useful for  
managing these risks are pension insurance, accident insurance, health insurance, life insurance,  
liability insurance and crime insurance. This study aims to examine the problems arising from  
intellectual capital based on the perspective of risk and seeking for solutions to manage human  
capital risk with the perspective of insurance based on a combination of theoretical and practice in  
the Finnish market, using the research study of Schiuma et al. (2012).  
2. Literature review  
2.1. Risks of intellectual capital  
Intellectual capital is considered to include a number of different non-physical sources  
2007 ) ). Edvinsson (1997) divided intellectual capital into human capital (knowledge, ability,  
individual skills, creativity and innovation) and structural capital including customer capital and  
organizational capital. Sveiby (1997) classified intellectual capital into individual capacity,  
internal structure and external structure. Roos et al. (1997) divided intellectual capital into  
human capital (capacity, attitude and agile intelligence) and structural capital (relationships,  
organization, and innovation and development). Accordingly, intellectual capital can be  
classified into organizations, related to external capital and related to relational capital (Lev,  
2001), or simpler, human, structural and relational capital ( Seetharaman et al, 2004 ; Bontis and  
This article focuses on examining one of the most fundamental components  
of intellectual capital (IC) , that is human resources. Because the elements of the IC has been  
widely agreed to be the platform of the success of companies (Edvinsson and Malone, 1997;  
Kujansivu and Lonnqvist, 2007), especially, human capital has been debated as an important  
resource in organizations ( Pfeffer, 1994 ). Company performance is now being  
judged on creativity, innovation, quality and flexibility, and the role of people has been redefined  
when it comes to creating value ( Afiouni, 2009 ) . Knowledge and management issues of human  
resources, including recruitment, education and development, pay salary and bonus have been  
identified as important for the management of the enterprise ( Carter and Scarbrough,  
Employees are the major contributors to the success of the organization (Abassi and  
Hollman, 2000) and, if lost, the value of them to organizations are not easily restored ( Stovel  
111  
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE: DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES  
IN VIETNAM IN THE CONTEXT OF INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION 4.0  
The importance of human capital for a company also suggests having to assess the risks  
associated with human capital. Van Den Heuvel et al. (2009) identified the cause of the decline  
arising from human resources in organizations related their employees for example their  
knowledge, underground skills, experiences and attitudes that are thought to be potentially  
causing risks to business. Therefore the risks of human capital are related to the risk of inside  
and outside, and more specifically classified them into processes, people, problems related  
to information and configuration.  
Kupi et al (2008) ; O'Sullivan and Stam (2009) built on the work of Harvey and Lusch  
(1999) by classifying risks into risks of humans, risks of the structure and risks of the  
relationship and determined some additional intellectual risks. An overview of the risks  
associated with intellectual capital can be identified in previous studies presented in Table 1.

2.2. Effect of human capital risk on small and medium-sized enterprises  
SMEs can be defined based on their number of employees such as: micro small (less  
than 10 people), small (less than 50 people) and medium-sized (less than 250 people)  
enterprises (OECD, 2000). The impact of human capital risks increases when the size of the  
company is reduced through human resource turnover and incapacity.  
Risks of employees turnover can be interpreted as the rotation of workers around the  
labor market; between enterprises and between the possibility of unemployment and  
employment of workers ( Abbasi and Hollman, 2000 ). Voluntary turnover occurs when  
employees decide to leave an organization, while involuntary turnover reflects the decision to  
end employment relationships ( Stovel and Bontis, 2002). Voluntary turnover may also occur  
due to retirement, illness, accident or death ( Shaw et al., 1998 ) .  
Excessive turnover can cause direct and indirect costs and can negatively affect the  
company's productivity. In terms of direct costs, personnel fluctuations can cause replacement  
costs related to finding alternative people, the cost of selecting new people, costs of training new  
people (Sutherland, 2002). About the indirect costs, personnel fluctuations reduce the investment  
of the organization to employees (Dess and Shaw, 2001) and may lead to loss of some  
relationships and business-related human (Stigs and Bontis, 2002). In addition, it  
can affect organizations through a decline in innovation, delayed services and slow  
implementation of new programs (Abassi and Hollman, 2000).  
Disabilities and / or know-how through human resource changes are an alarming issue  
especially for small enterprises (Wong and Radcliffe, 2000; Wickert and Herschel, 2001; Finn  
and Phillips, 2002).  
Considering voluntary turnover in small businesses, there are evidences that  
employees often quit their jobs to work for larger companies or to seek for higher wages  
and better prospects (Wong and Aspinwall, 2004). According to Penzer (1991), employees tend to  
work for small companies to collect skills and experiences and then move on to larger companies  
later. Involuntary fluctuations relates to the occurrence of illness, accident or death while limitation  
of human resource availability both on knowledge and skills. Therefore, the level of threat to a  
small company depends on the role of each employee (Wickert and Herschel, 2001).  
Building new knowledge in small and medium-sized enterprises seems less progressive  
than in big companies (McAdam and Reid, 2001), leading to the loss of knowledge cannot  
easily be replaced. The key to acquire new knowledge is to hire or employ individuals with the  
necessary knowledge or purchase knowledge assets such as patents, research papers or other  
intelligence (Wong and Aspinwall, 2004 ). However, because small businesses are often  
constrained by resource scarcity (OECD, 2002), this can be difficult for small and medium-sized  
enterprises.  
In addition, comparing with large companies, managers and employees of small and  
medium-sized enterprises tend to contact customers more closely and directly. Therefore SMEs  
business have to rely on their personal relationships (Haksever, 1996). Thus, capital relations are  
113  
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE: DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES  
IN VIETNAM IN THE CONTEXT OF INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION 4.0  
more closely linked to individuals in smaller companies, and human turnover can also compose a  
risk of relational capital among customers, subcontractors or a distributor coordinate with  
departure staff. In the worst case, an employee leaves can lead to move of a few other key  
staff (Jaaskelainen, 2011).  
2.3. The role of insurance in risk management of companies  
Consider losing knowledge in the context of a medium-sized enterprise, Durst and  
Wilhelm (2010) proposing to build a knowledge map of relationships to help small and medium-  
sized enterprises identify their main members as well as functions and relationships. Based on  
literature review and analysis, Jääskeläinen (2011) proposed a measure of performance as an  
appropriate tool to assess human turnover. Current studies in this subject are having two  
significant limitations. Firstly, it considered human identification as a risk; secondly,  
these researches has been done primarily to identify and assess risks. This study contributes  
to current studies by considering human capital risks management in generally and focusing  
attention on insurance as an actual risk management approach.  
Insurance provides a practical tool to manage human capital risks. The idea of using  
insurance is based on protecting the financial well-being of the business in case of unexpected  
loss. The main motivation for a company to buy insurance is to protect itself against loss of  
assets / casualties and liability (Miller, 1992). The main function of insurance is the  
compensation to the policyholder if the adverse events occurred which are predetermined based  
on paying insurance premiums of all contracts (Saunders and Cornett, 2007). Therefore,  
insurance companies take risks to exchange for insurance premiums (Fabozzi et al., 2009).  
Insurance industry is divided into two categories: life and non-life. Life insurance  
provides protection in time in case of death, illness and retirement as well as protect property  
insurance protection against risks such as personal injury and liability due to accidents, theft,  
fires and other disasters (Saunders and Cornett, 2007). There are many different types of  
insurance that are suitable for many kinds of different risks (Fabozzi et al, 2009).  
3. Practical experience in Finland market  
The application of insurance for risks management of human capital has been analyzed  
through theoretical studies and experiments collected from the insurance industry. Based on the  
identified risks, Schiuma et al. (2012) have empirically assessed the possibilities that insurance  
can provide for a company to protect against these risks through a specified study that  
charged at an insurance company.  
That study exploresd a relatively new topic, namely the risk of intellectual capital from  
the perspective of insurance that had not been introduced in this context before. Schiuma et al.  
(2012) selected an insurance company operating in Finland. Analysis was completed by  
comparing the insurance risks with the selected company's portfolio products . Insurance  
solutions for each risk were found by risk screening for all existing life and non-life insurance  
products and then completed by making a complete list of insurance products and  
using product descriptions to confirm the usefulness of your management for these risks. In  
the next stage, the terms and conditions of insurance had been studied, basically, terms of  
insurance is the same for all customers, although some parameters can be selected according to  
the orders and needs of customers.

3.1. Insurability of human capital risks  
From the viewpoint of the insurance providers, insurable risks are ones that insurance  
companies are willing to insure and uninsurable risks which are difficult or impossible to find a  
way insurance to minimize risks. Therefore, the research has synthesized the types of risks which  
can be insurable and uninsurable in detail as follows:

3.2. Determination of insurance solutions  
In the later stages of the process, a number of appropriate types of insurance have been  
identified for each risk, as detailed in the following table:

115  
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE: DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES  
IN VIETNAM IN THE CONTEXT OF INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION 4.0  
Protection against disabilities through voluntary turnover (resignation) can be found  
through additional pension insurance that a company can provide for its key person. In this  
context, the goal of insurance is to increase commitment of employees to stay with the  
company. The lack of a security system has been identified as one of the causes of voluntary  
turnover in organizations (Abassi and Hollman, 2000), and economic research has proven that  
investing in salaries and benefits reduces employee turnover (Shaw et al, 1998).  
Pension insurance can be either an individual insurance (an insured person) or group insu-  
rance (a group of insured employees). Pension insurance is used for employers to accumulate an  
additional retirement benefits for members of the company. Owership of the insurance can be  
transferred to employees by themself with advanced regulations on conditions for example five  
years or ten years working as well as depending on the willingness of companies and their  
employees. This means that if the employee quit the job before the specified deadline, he or she  
will only receive part of the financial benefit. Thus, insurance provides a good motivation for the  
employee to continue working in the company in the time stipulated in advance and accumulated  
pension money of them in a long time. Hence, as a system of additional compensation, pension  
insurance can be a way to protect against voluntary personnel fluctuation, and provides better  
grounds for the management to prepare for the moment fluctuations may occur.  
Considering involuntary turnover, the company may lose its capacity through five ways:  
layoffs, retirement, illness, accident or sudden death (Shaw et al., 1998; Stigs and Bontis, 2002).  
Accordingly, the decision of the business owner to terminate the employment relationship is a  
conscious decision, it is not considered here. Four different types of insurance are identified as  
suitable to provide protection against other cases: pension insurance, accident insurance, health  
insurance and life insurance. Regarding retirement, pension insurance can be helpful in  
encouraging key people to accumulate more years of work, as explained above. Or thinking that  
the personal expertise of the owner/ manager or key staff is often not clarified in small and  
medium-sized enterprises (Shelton, 2001), delaying retirement of these people seems to be  
important, especially in smaller companies.  
Related to the emergence of the disease or accident required medical care, health  
insurance and accident insurance offer some protection. With these types of insurance, employees  
can have a quick access to the private health care system whenever needed. In this way they will  
receive the necessary medical services without any delay. Thus, the working time is less affected and  
staff will benefit by receiving the timely care with high quality. Because there are some evidences  
that the absence of employees due to diseases can threaten a small company depends on the location  
of each employee (Wickert and Herschel, 2001) .  
In case of risk related to the death of a key person, life insurance provides a number  
of ways to protect the company by financial compensation to the beneficiary identified in the  
insurance contract. Although life insurance does not provide explicit protection against loss of  
knowledge or know-how of that person, it can ease the process of replacing  
losses through offsetting costs that Sutherland (2002) referred, which related to the  
recruitment and training of new employees. In case of loss of co-ownership/ business partners,  
116  
HỘI THẢO QUỐC TẾ: PHÁT TRIỂN  
DOANH NGHIỆP NHỎ VÀ VỪA CỦA VIỆT NAM TRONG BỐI CẢNH CUỘC CÁCH MẠNG CÔNG NGHIỆP 4.0  
life insurance can be adjusted to pay off for the heirs of the dead, in order to assure the  
ownership of the company and the future of the company will not be put on risk. This can be  
found especially useful in small enterprises with limited number of owners.  
Regarding the capacity limitations (responsibilities), some protections can be  
found through pension insurance. When the owner/ current manager and/ or key person  
started going to retire, they might not actively in the development of capabilities and theirs  
know-how as before. In this case, the company can provide people who are about to retire  
by creating opportunities for early retirement with additional retirement benefits. In this context,  
the purpose of insurance is to help the company adjust its staff based on its appropriate capacity  
needs. In order to reduce the risk of capacity limitation in the company, pension insurance can  
also be used to attract new capable employees. In this term, insurance is used as an incentive to  
attract and commit new talent to the company.  
Considering the context of small and medium-sized enterprises, managers are often the  
owners who supervise all aspects of operations and businesses (Wong and Aspinwall, 2004). In  
this case, it is likely that there is no board of directors overseeing the actions of the manager. The  
risk of inexperienced management can be managed at a certain level of both liability and  
retirement insurance. If there is a fear that management would make a decision which might  
harm the company, which can issue the compensation, liability insurance can help protect  
against risks. If management is inexperienced in the situation which is impossible to address new  
business challenges due to old age and fatigue, pension insurance is a good way to address this  
risk, as explained above. This may be a timely way to consider the issue of generational change  
in small and medium - size enterprises.  
The negative effects of employee crimes on the company can be controlled by crime  
insurance that protects the company from the financial risks associated with the occurrence of  
the risk. Considering the risk of employees who have negative attitudes towards the mission to  
work abroad, the case may be suitable for internationalized small and medium-sized enterprises.  
Negative attitudes can be caused for example by a fear that a foreign transfer could decrease the  
employee's social security benefits. This can be balanced with the voluntary retirement insurance  
paid by the company, assuring employees that they will be compensated for their time abroad as  
the beneficiary of the insurance. Another additional cause of the negative attitude is the fact that  
medical services abroad are quite different. Foreigners can therefore appreciate an additional  
health insurance that allows first-class medical assistance in case of illness or accident for them  
and their families.  
4. Research results and discussion  
This study contributes to the discussion on human capital risk management by focusing  
on human capital risk as an entity, and expanded the problem from risk identification and  
assessment into the context of the practical risk management ( Harvey and Lusch, 1999; Durst  
and Wilhelm, 2010; Jääskeläinen, 2011) . On that basis, some lessons can be drawn for small and  
medium-sized enterprises in Vietnam as follows:  
The results of Schiuma et al (2012) show that pensions, accidents, health, life, liability  
and crime insurance provide potential solutions for managing human capital risk. The  
rationale behind these types of insurance is two-sided: some types of insurance function as a  
management tool for money risks that arise and encourage a desired behavior, or room  
117  
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE: DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES  
IN VIETNAM IN THE CONTEXT OF INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION 4.0  
control when to make up for financing in the event of an adverse event specified in advance. In  
particular, pension insurance seems particularly prominent in the context of human capital  
risks. This is very consistent with the ideology of workers' views in Vietnam when employees  
are always worried about their old age.  
The Finnish experience analysis shows that pension insurance can be used for  
the purposes of increasing employee commitment to stay with the company, as a way  
of adjusting between current employees and capacity needs. or as a way to attract new  
employees, and as an additional compensation for employees‘ benefits. This creates an increase  
of commitment to company.  
From the manager's perspective, the results of this study can be used as a means to  
identify and assess the possible risks of human capital at company level and insurance can be  
considered as a specific method or solution to manage them. It is important for small and  
medium-sized businesses, where the owners/ managers often pay more their attention on core  
business processes (Wong and Aspinwall, 2004).Comparing to large companies, in terms of risk  
management and human resources responsibilies, human capital risk management may not be  
noticeable in small and medium-sized enterprises. Although insurance provides a suitable option  
for managing human resource risk, there are other ways for a company to manage its human  
resources risk. According to Wong and Aspinwall (2004), multi-functional training, job  
transfer and apprenticeship to share knowledge are several ways to protect anti-  
knowledge companies. C Cancer grant incentives, non-financial, recognized the contributions of  
employees, promote motivation, empowerment, to freely apply ideas and given the challenges of  
the job can also create photo enjoy important compared to other tangible services.  
Based on this study, it can be seen that protection of knowledge assets is an crucial  
matter for companies, and as Stam (2009) indicates, research should focus more on developing  
methods and specific solutions to help manage these risks. Although insurance is an outstanding  
method to manage human capital risks, small and medium-sized enterprises should focus on the  
effectiveness of these types of insurance in practice such as: evaluating the insurable coverage of  
the small and medium-sized enterprises, consisting of premium to pay, and the amount of  
possible compensation paid by insurer are really commensurate with the losses occur. Apart  
from the human capital risks, insurance can be used for many purposes in managing the risks of  
small and medium-sized enterprises which other studies can be developed further in the future.
