Various measures were used in measuring the independent variables; relative development expenses was used to measure investments in intellectual capital, while the value of intellectual capital was measured using market capitalization method otherwise known as Tobin's Q, the efficiency of intellectual capital was measured using the Value Added Intellectual Coefficient and profitability was measured using return on investments (ROI).
