Abstract: The main objective of this study is to explain the global performance of firms from an intellectual capital perspective. Samples were selected from a list of the top 1,000 Taiwanese companies using a type of purposive sampling. The selection criteria required sample companies to be located in Taiwan and to compete globally. This study collected 146 valid questionnaires from 146 companies. The results confirm that intellectual capital is positively associated with a firm’s global performance. The results also confirm a moderating effect of knowledge management strategy on the relationship between intellectual capital and global performance. These results imply that a combination of the right type of knowledge management strategy with the right form of intellectual capital will enhance a firm’s performance, although neither the technology-centered nor the people-centered approach should be overused.
