This article features a descriptive proposal that examines the different conceptual dimensions of knowledge (basically the epistemological, ontological, systemic and strategic dimensions) that are involved in the emerging strategic process of organizations. Included in this process are aspects of information, complexity and imagination that make up the spirals of knowledge. In this study we aim to shed light on knowledge management in strategy‐making so that the different categories of knowledge may emerge and develop their potential within an organization and interact among each other. The goal is to create sustainable competitive advantages or essential competencies that help a business to succeed. Considering a constructionist approach to knowledge – specifically, the theory of knowledge creation developed by Nonaka and Takeuchi – we conclude that the formation of the strategy is a double‐loop knowledge creating process. Finally, we outline some of the main practical implications of our position.

There is a wide range of strategies to improve intangible assets management but practical side around two case studies is the main added value for this chapter. For this reason, the purpose is not about a model configuration but CoPs as a useful mechanism to knowledge governance. First of all, a reality based on consultancy activity inside military sector, Isdefe, with a three years project aimed to knowledge management as a core business plan, taking into account a technological development. Secondly, a framework related to nuclear power plants in Spain through “CoPs Project” an initiative aimed to improve organizational performance linked to tacit knowledge transfer.

Purpose. Self-regulation of exercise intensity with the Borg 6-20 scale seems a promising alternative, since the magnitude of effort is regulated by internal factors inherent to the individual and their perception of effort during the activity. In order to verify this hypothesis, some studies have tested the validity of the Borg 6-20 scale for prescribing exercise intensity. the study aim was to review the literature and verify the validity of the Borg 6-20 scale in aerobic exercise prescription. Methods. the PIcOS strategy was used to conduct the search for evidence concerning the objectives of the review as recommended by PRISMA-P. the level and quality of evidence were analysed by using the cochrane collaboration's recommendation for systematic reviews. Results. A total of 1434 references were found. After applying the criteria of inclusion, 15 studies were considered eligible for review. these studies generally tested the validity of intensity-regulated prescriptions with rating of perceived exertion (RPE) by comparing physiological and performance measures obtained in incremental tests or conventional prescriptions with the measures generated by prescriptions regulated with the Borg 6-20 scale. In addition, some studies evaluated the reliability and reproducibility of RPE-regulated prescriptions by comparing physiological and performance measures obtained from different intensity-regulated exercise sessions with the Borg 6-20 scale. Conclusions. According to the studies investigated in this systematic review, the recommendation of the Borg 6-20 scale in exercise prescription is not yet a valid alternative to describe similar intensity magnitudes to physiological and performance variables.

In this paper we propose the concepts and variables that characterize resilient organizational capabilities (onwards ROC that 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" 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. Also, the role of dynamic capabilities and intellectual capital that has been playing to date will be explained. In this research a methodological triangulation and a qualitative analysis to data on a Case Studies in new technology based firms (NTBFs) 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. The results of the comparative study show differences in analysed ROC, explained by cultural or economic themes, or by the sectors or sizes to which the companies of the reference groups belong, which is the basis for a future line of research. ResumenEn este trabajo, proponemos los conceptos y las variables que caracterizan las capacidades organizativas resilientes (en adelante, ROC) que pueden verse como capacidades dinámicas. El concepto de resiliencia destaca la capacidad de superar un trauma y el poder de emerger más reforzado, considerando el concepto de "lecciones aprendidas "como base para su desarrollo. Hay dos factores clave: las actitudes y la cultura que pueden transformarse en un concepto de resiliencia. En este trabajo, se presentan el concepto y las características de la ROC o "capacidades de adaptación" que generan innovación en el campo de las PYMES. Además, se explicará el papel que las capacidades dinámicas y el capital intelectual han estado jugando hasta la fecha. En esta investigación, se realiza una triangulación metodológica y un análisis cualitativo de los datos de estudio de casos en nuevas empresas de base tecnológica (NEBTs) del Parque Científico de Madrid y un grupo de Pymes Colombianas. Este se completará con un análisis cuantitativo a través de una encuesta realizada a estas mismas empresas. Los resultados del estudio comparativo, muestran diferencias en las ROC analizadas, explicados por temas culturales o económicos, o por los sectores o tamaños a los que pertenecen las empresas de los grupos de referencia, que serán la base de una línea de investigación futura.

AbstractThis paper aims to find out the "state of the art" of research into tourism enterprises in Spain and the work carried out over the last thirty years. The methodology proposed to make this assessment is an analysis based on the research programmes, theoretical approaches and basic principles which make up the body of current Business Economics teaching. Once this has been accomplished, the contributions of the selected works -a total of ten -are subsequently analysed. These works reflect the main lines of research followed and take up the characteristic theoretical approaches and conceptual principles that comprise current knowledge of the area, particularly from the most classical perspective.
