Focus is placed on the strategic role of intellectual capital, through the leverage of creative and innovation capabilities, to strengthen and develop firms; thus emphasizing the micro-strategic perspective of dynamic capabilities in innovation processes of NTBFs. In addition, an evaluation of the role that Intellectual Capital Reports (ICR) play in this process and in the development of core competences, through implementation in almost 100 NTBFs located in science and technology parks of Madrid, is presented.

IADE develops activities of technical and scientific investigation, makes projects of technical assistance to different kind of organizations and makes a labour of postgraduate education. This chapter proposes that professors and doctoral students, from different countries and organizations, who carry out their research projects in IADE, work as an investigation Community of Practice (CoP) both in purpose, character and functionality, and develop a knowledge-creating process in a Ba. This chapter studies this process, describes the Ba and the investigation CoP as an element of the Ba. In order to get a deep understanding of these elements, we have chosen a case study as empirical research methodology and we have based our findings and conclusions in a previous theoretical analysi...

Este creciente interes, principalmente por parte de la comunidad cientifica esta caracterizada por una multitud de perspectivas basadas en ?o a traves de- un gran numero de existentes disciplinas y especializaciones, lo que se traduce en diversidad de enfoques, conceptos, modelos y medidas, que complican su estudio y comprension y dificultan la creacion de una base teorica comun y por supuesto, una adecuada medicion y evaluacion del concepto y del proceso, lo cual sirve de base para la realizacion de esta tesis que analiza las dificultades y limitaciones de la medicion y propone una evaluacion de la innovacion desde una perspectiva multidimensional e interdisciplinar.

The concept of resilience highlights the ability to overcome trauma and the power to emerge more reinforced, considering the concept of “lessons learned” as the basis for its development. There are two key factors: attitudes and culture that can be transformed into a concept of resilience. In this work, the concept and characteristics of the ROC or “adaptive capabilities” generating innovation in the field of SMEs are presented.

These capabilities can be viewed as dynamic capabilities. The concept of resilience highlights the ability to overcome trauma and the power to emerge more reinforced. Considering the concept of "lessons learned" serves as the basis for resilience in organizations. The dynamism and the turbulence of the environment lead us to a recurrent framework of lessons learned. There are two key factors: attitudes and culture. They can be transformed into a concept of resilience and the way of working to move from an attitude to an operational plane. One of the most operative ways to understand resilience would be to develop a comparative study. Kurtz D. J., Varvakis G., (2016). This study could be from different levels: comparison of organizations, sectors, countries, etc. According to Pavlou an El Sawy (2011), this as long as a solid theoretical framework is established. In addition, observing the scenario for an organization to develop resilient capabilities in a truly effective way Whitehorn, G. (2011).
Design/methodology/approach – In this work, the concept and characteristics of the "resilient capabilities of the organization" or "adaptive capabilities" generating innovation in the field of SMEs are presented. Also, the role of dynamic capabilities and intellectual capital (set of intangibles of the organization) that has been playing to date will be explained. In this research a methodological triangulation and a qualitative analysis to data on a Cases Study in NEBTs of the Scientific Park of Madrid and Colombian SMEs are realized. And will be completed with a quantitative analysis through the survey of these same two groups.
Originality/value – This methodology puts in evidence the concept that Kurtz and Varvakis (2016) take of Resiliencia from Walker et al. (2002) and Bhamra et al. (2011). Conceptual relationship that we can analyze in the application to the NEBTs, following and updating with new data and experiences that we have. In addition, the subject has to do with our contents of the Monograph of Industrial Economy on business dynamics as well with information collected from North, K. and Varvakis, G., (2016a). The issue focuses on the turbulence and instability of the environment or in the markets, so it is evident that it is necessary to energize SMEs, and specifically the NEBTs, to adapt and develop the innovation that these problems require.
Practical implications – One of the most operative ways to understand resilience would be to develop a comparative study. This study could be from different levels: comparison of organizations, sectors, countries, etc. This as long as a solid theoretical framework is established. In addition, observing the scenario for an organization to develop resilient capabilities in a truly effective way.
9th Conference on Intellectual Capital 2017: Intellectual Capital as Strategy to Develop Dynamic SMEs. A Proposal Model for Colombian SMEs.

Specifically, this work focuses on small and medium enterprises (SMEs), given their relevance at the international level, for their contribution to GDP and employment creation.
Particularly, because of their smaller size and low possession of tangible resources, they are vulnerable to the risks of the economic cycle. This forces them to develop capabilities to cope with these challenges and ensures their survival in the long term.
In this sense, the development of an adaptive dynamic capability constitutes one of the alternatives to achieve this. Given that these capabilities are located within the intangible assets of the organization, this work proposes, their combination as variables of the Intellectus Model components in which are integrated to achieve the required organizational "dynamization".
Based on a review of the literature of the dynamic capabilities and intellectual capital approach, this research proposes the variables of the main components of intellectual related with adaptive capability of organization . This results in a model adapted to the specific conditions of the Colombian SMEs, allowing its dynamization and adaptation to highly changing environments.

Furthermore, the maturity level of intellectual capital management capability (ICMC) models can be measured through the development and deployment of dynamic capabilities and this is particularly valuable in the case of small and medium sized organisations (SMEs).

En Europa, por ejemplo, las Pymes representan el 99% de las empresas y generan dos de cada tres empleos del sector privado. Esta situación muestra a las Pymes como la verdadera columna vertebral de estas economías, siendo las principales responsables de la riqueza y el crecimiento económico, junto a su papel clave en la innovación y en la I + D.

Dichas capacidades están relacionadas con el desarrollo de estrategias en el corto plazo, que les permita ser flexibles y responder de una manera rápida a los retos a los que se enfrentan en entornos turbulentos así como también, de estrategias de largo plazo, que les permita garantizar su supervivencia en el tiempo. En este sentido, este trabajo propone que el desarrollo de procesos de conocimiento en las organizaciones crea activos intangibles de base intelectual y representa la “capacidad creadora y dinamizadora” que genera innovación para el sistema social a través del emprendimiento, fundamental para el logro de ventajas competitivas sostenibles.

De esta manera, se definen tres grandes corrientes comprensivas de la innovación social: por una parte, aquella que la vincula a la solución de un problema social; por otra, aquella que la hace depender del factor que se modifica, en este caso, el factor humano y organizativo y, por último, aquella más ideológica, que se refiere a la innovación social como aquella que introduce criterios de justicia social en la actividad económica.
Partiendo de estas premisas, el presente trabajo pretende aportar una definición integral de innovación social así como identificar los elementos que la caracterizan, desarrollando a partir de ellos, un modelo de evaluación que permita optimizar su gestión y el valor social aportado

A pesar de los estudios realizados, no se cuenta con un modelo de medición generalmente aceptado que responda a la multidimensionalidad y la complejidad de su concepto y proceso.
Por ello, este trabajo propone un modelo holístico, que responde a dicho enfoque de la innovación, para definir las perspectivas principales que permitan construir un análisis sintético e integrador con un “cuadro de indicadores” de igual naturaleza, tal y como se deduce de la observación actual de la innovación. Para ello, se presentan tres partes que ofrecen un marco de análisis y reflexión para la construcción de unas directrices de un modelo eficaz para la evaluación de la innovación.
