This chapter analyzes the knowledge-creating process that has been developed in the Institute for Research in Knowledge Management and Business Innovation (IADE) of the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (UAM). 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 analysis of these concepts.

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.
