The literature on the relationship between firm value and knowledge capital is based on stock market valuation. We use a credit rating score as an alternative measure. Innovative firms achieve better ratings, whilst too many innovative activities reduce the rating. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
