“…Based on the further research (Hafeez et al, 2002, Hafeez & Abdelmeguid, 2003 many organisations believe that management of their knowledge, skills and competences is the key to their survival in the knowledge economy -in the age of Intellectual Capital. The connection between Diversity Management and Intellectual Capital and also the benefits of diversity and its correspondence with all three areas of Intellectual Capital (Human, Structural and Relational Capital) has been proved by a desk research of extant literature.…”

As a result of various changes in the entrepreneurship environment with the aim to create value and gain sustainable competitive advantage, businesses more often pay attention to soft skills within the management and to intangible assets. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of Intellectual Capital and Diversity Management as a tool for business management and efficient use of Intellectual Capital within a business. After having done research within extant literature about both topics mentioned, there is a practical part of the research which uses two independent questionnaire surveys. One of the questionnaires focuses on the concept of Intellectual Capital and it is still being conducted. This questionnaire uses the first outcomes of the research; the second part deals with the topic of Diversity Management and it was already concluded in 2013. The practical part of the article compares the outcomes of the empiric research in the area of Diversity Management with the results of the research of Intellectual Capital concept. The main question is if the managers of the businesses located in the Czech Republic are aware of the Intellectual Capital concept and whether they understand the importance of its control in comparison to understanding the benefits of Diversity Management which is considered to be a factor with a certain influence on the efficiency of Intellectual Capital. Furthermore, the dependency between the size and sector of a business and its understanding of the Intellectual Capital concept and importance is examined. This is done by means of statistical tools. The results and outcomes of the research are discussed in the final part of the article.

“…As part of the traditional view on competition, firms also focus on specializing their business scope and retaining their core competences, while outsourcing those that are non-core (Christopher 2005;Kano 2017;Quinn and Hilmer 1994). The concept of value chain core competency has received increasing attention from managers and decision makers in terms of thinking about how to nurture and develop competences for competitive advantage (Hafeez et al 2002;Javidan 1998;Prahalad and Hamel 2000).…”

We explore the emerging body of research focusing on business ecosystems (BEs). The study of inter-organizational relationships has evolved from a focus at the level of firm, to the supply chain, the platform, and now towards the BE. The co-evolution of inter-related organizations is an essential element of BE research, rather than static structure. The success of leading internet companies in Asia, such

“…KM-related processes may in fact range in a wide set of tasks, from strategic choices decision support to business activities allocation, just to name a few. The automation of such processes is usually achieved by integrated enterprise suites relying on database technologies 4 , which are able to cope with scalability issues, but -if traditionally employed -do not allow for a machine-understandable representation of the full informative content to be managed. On the contrary, the peculiarity of knowledge as organizational asset asks for technologies facilitating both representation and processing of information, like semantic-based ones [1].…”

“…Among available approaches to strategic management (see [4] for a classification), our proposal takes the competence-based perspective ( [5], [6]) and interprets company strategic competence as a collective asset, resulting from the synergy of human resources. We model the company intellectual capital in a Knowledge Base, which is described according to the formalism of DLs [7].…”

Abstract. Knowledge Management (KM) asks for information-intensive services over large amount of data, modeling the intellectual capital of an organization. To combine the expressiveness of logic-based languages with efficient information processing, we adopt a Knowledge Compilation approach to the extraction of "Core Competence" of a given company, a typical KM problem. In particular, we translate into a relational database schema the full logical description formalized in a Knowledge Base (KB), modeling organizational intellectual capital according to the formalism of Description Logics (DLs). Core Competence extraction is consequently performed through standard-SQL queries, while retaining the expressiveness of the logical representation. The service has been embedded in a system for Human Resource Management, I.M.P.A.K.T.3 , to show how Core Competence extraction performance significantly improves w.r.t. implementations exploiting DL reasoning engines.
