Human Capital Transfer from Large Enterprises to Small Business: Conditions, Benefits and Threats

Author: admin zant

Human capital is one of the most important intangible assets of each

modern business entity. This statement is especially important for the small

and medium sized enterprises, which, in most cases lack the tangible

resources. Their ability to compete on the market both locally and globally,

mostly depends on their flexibility, owner’s intuition and the quality of

human capital that pushes those companies forward. One of the ways to

acquire desirable human capital by the small and medium sized entities, is

to influence its transfer from large business enterprises. Taking this into

account, the aim of this article is to identify and assess the conditions that

increase the benefits as well as reduce the threats, which result from

human capital transfer from large entities to the small businesses. To

achieve this aim, a research survey was conducted on a sample of 356

micro, small and medium sized companies that operate on polish market.

Based on the above, 2 research hypothesizes were verified. The results

indicate that the growth of benefits and reduction of threats that result from

this specific human capital transfer is determined by the set of: legal,

economic, organizational, socio-cultural conditions and technical conditions.

The results have moreover high managerial implications, giving advice

which conditions should be developed within the companies to increase the

level of benefits associated with the process of human capital transfer, and

at the same time which of those conditions potentially mitigate the risks.
