“…El capital intelectual está relacionado con los activos de conocimiento que una organización posee, es decir, el inventario de conocimientos existentes en un momento determinado (Bontis, 2001), por ende la gestión del capital intelectual se concentra en el uso y la concepción estratégica de los procesos orientados a la consecución y explotación de activos de este tipo, para ello, este proceso comprende dos grandes actividades: la identificación y evaluación de conocimientos claves, y la planeación y desarrollo de acciones orientadas a aumentar el inventario de conocimientos (Kianto et al, 2013). La identificación de conocimientos claves comprende actividades que incluyen establecer qué, cómo y dónde se encuentra el conocimiento clave en una organización (Eppler, 2008;Balaid et al, 2016). Por su parte, la planeación y desarrollo de acciones implica la inclusión de procesos alusivos a la generación, adquisición, almacenamiento y diseminación del conocimiento (Ramírez et al, 2011).…”

Autor a quien debe dirigirse la correspondencia. ResumenEl objetivo del artículo es analizar la relación entre la gestión del capital intelectual y el desempeño de grupos de investigación universitarios. Se realizó un análisis clúster y de la varianza (ANOVA con comparaciones post-hoc) para identificar diferencias en medias significativas con datos obtenidos de una muestra de 288 grupos de investigación de universidades en Colombia. Los resultados ponen en evidencia la existencia de tres tipos de grupos: líderes, seguidores y rezagados. Entre ellos encontramos diferencias significativas en cuanto a la publicación de artículos científicos que tienen que ver con dos aspectos específicos de la gestión del capital intelectual: i) la evaluación sistemática de las competencias y el inventario de conocimientos del grupo, y ii) la existencia de una estrategia clara para desarrollar nuevas competencias y adquirir nuevos conocimientos. En conclusión, es necesario revaluar el enfoque tradicional de capital intelectual en universidades que limita la gestión de la construcción y monitoreo de indicadores. Palabras clave: gestión de capital intelectual; grupos de investigación; indicadores de desempeño AbstractThe objective of the article is to analyze the relationship between the management of intellectual capital and the performance of university research groups (PURG). A cluster and variance analysis (ANOVA with posthoc comparisons) was performed to identify differences in significant means with data obtained from a sample of 288 university research groups in Colombia. The results show the existence of three types of groups: leaders, followers and laggards. We find significant differences in the publication of scientific articles among them that have to do with two specific aspects of the management of intellectual capital: i) the systematic evaluation of the competences and knowledge mapping of the group, and ii) the existence of a clear strategy to develop new skills and acquire new knowledge. In conclusion, it is necessary to rethink the traditional approach of intellectual capital for universities, which limits the construction and monitoring of performance indicators.

“…They demonstrated how knowledge maps can help organize knowledge in several contexts, such as learning design, learning path planning and problem solving, online learning, and distance education. Besides, Eppler (2008) has offered a basic map for the knowledge classification pedestal for the tasks management of knowledge. These tasks consist of four steps: knowledge identification maps, knowledge creation and development, application, and assessment maps.…”

The relationship between knowledge mapping and the open innovation process: the case of education system

In an increasingly competitive economic environment, innovation has become an invaluable asset to the organization and for effective knowledge management (KM). Nowadays, organizations are knowledge based and their success and survival depend on creativity, diversity, and innovation. A knowledge map is a vital tool for better KM and innovation. To this effect, the innovation processes on KMin education system through knowledge transfer activities will facilitate the shift from teaching as knowledge transmission to teaching as learning facilitation. In this context, we present a new approach based on, the one hand, the critical knowledge mapping being based on an extraction work of the expert knowledge and on the other hand, the description of the conceptual framework design which allows one to exploit and integrate knowledge capitalized and external knowledge by the open innovation process. In addition, this practice makes it possible to examine how KM, in particular, the knowledge mapping, can be used to establish the flow of the internal and external information in order to increase the efficiency of creativity and invention.

“…For instance, I developed a frame of reference for describing how images convey meaning based on both semiotics (Barthes, 1957, 1964, 1968, Kress and van Leeuwen, 2002van Leeuwen, 2005) and other visual fields and subfields, e.g. cognitive psychology (Larkin and Simon, 1987;Tversky, 1997Tversky, , 2011Heiser and Tversky, 2006) and information visualization (Tufte, 1990;Lohse et al, 1994;Eppler, 2008;Lima, 2011). This frame of reference served as a sensitizing device when describing and analyzing visuals.…”

Patterns of corporate visual selfrepresentation in accounting narratives

This dissertation deals with firms' visual and pre-visual self-representations in accounting narratives.Self-representations are those descriptions about the company that firms include in accounting narratives to convey the current standings and their identity. External stakeholders increasingly expect non-numerical information about firms to be disclosed, and accounting narratives are a key medium for firms to account for their activities and maintain legitimacy as social actors. The question of which reporting conventions exist for legitimating self-representations, especially from a visual perspective, remains unexplored. The purpose of this study is therefore to explore the empirical phenomenon of self-representations in accounting narratives in relation to legitimation rhetoric.The study is based on three research papers dealing with different patterns of self-representations in accounting-related narratives, including corporate reporting and business model diagrams. The examples are viewed through the theoretical lenses of semiotics and institutional theory, particularly legitimation theory. The study combines visual methods (visual content analysis and visual taxonomy) with other methods (interviews, text analysis) to conceptualize and exemplify what is meant by self-representations in accounting narratives. The study finds that there may be multiple parallel pre-visual self-representations at play to influence representations of the self, that visual selfrepresentations are becoming more common in accounting narratives, and that several rhetorical strategies for legitimation are observable in these representations. By showing how diagrams can serve a legitimating purpose in accounting narratives, it is argued that diagrams should be considered on par with graphs and photographs as visual rhetorical devices in accounting narratives, and that they could be used as key communicative elements in the accounting process.Second, based on the longitudinal and comparative examples of self-representations, it is suggested that self-representations increasingly refer to abstract rather than concrete referents. This change is discussed in terms of the increasingly digital and service-based knowledge economy, where material referents give way to "amaterial" values. The contribution of this study is to describe selfrepresentations through several empirical examples, and to thereby increase awareness among practitioners and researchers of how visuals serve as communicative resources with legitimating functions in accounting narratives. Four concepts are proposed as tools for explaining the observed developments, and for improving visual literacy with regard to accounting narratives: inclusive perspective on accounting narratives, amateriality, self-representation, and diagrams.
