“…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.

“…Once KM importance is established, its application in various business fields started in full swing. Linking KM with Business Intelligence and HR created a new arena for KM (Woods, 2003;Hafeez & Abdelmeguid, 2003). Significant work was re-initiated in the development of KM tools following Tiwana's work (Tiwana, 2002;Barth, 2003;Odom & Starns, 2003).…”

While investigating the growth of knowledge management in academic literature and in consultancy firms Wilson (2002) in his article "The nonsense of knowledge management", argues that the fields of information science and information systems, should clearly distinguish between the term "information" and "knowledge" in order to assure their respective importance within organizations.The purpose of this article is to analyze the evolution of the knowledge management as a field of study that clearly differentiates itself from the information system. It investigates the integration of technology in knowledge creation and identifies progress made in KM on the subject of business using information system with the successful utilization of tacit knowledge concepts.The study consists of a systemic review of articles on knowledge management from Web of Science and Esearch databases since 2003. The study used three search strings "knowledge management", "knowledge management" and "tacit", and "knowledge management" and "explicit". This study may not have covered all articles and reports in KM. Yet, based on the chosen research methodology, it seems reasonable to assume that the review process covered a large share of the studies available.The literature concerning the evolution of the Knowledge Management (KM) has highlighted that KM as a strategy and tool is now more in line with the basic definition of knowledge and wisdom. The advancement in Information Technology (IT), has supported knowledge capture process by utilizing the human dimension of KM that emphasize on knowledge context. The main contribution of this study is to confirm the close relationship of dependency of IT and KM.

Abstract-The main aim of this work is to develop methods and technologies of the university's scientific knowledge management. The paper examines the concept of knowledge management and life-cycle processes of the university's scientific knowledge. Text Mining and Semantic Web technologies are used to develop the ontological information model and for information resources processing. The paper describes the developed information model of the university's scientific knowledge, the methods of forming scientific profiles, and the concept of the university's scientific knowledge semantic portal. I. INTRODUCTIONK NOWLEDGE , intellectual property, and intellectual resources have been understood in recent decades as a major driving force of the economy of the "third wave" (the new economy), the economy based on knowledge of expanded reproduction [1]. Knowledge as intellectual capital is gradually becoming one of the most important factors in the development of economy and the society.For a modern institution of higher education as an open social and economic self-organizing system the processes of creation, accumulation, and dissemination of knowledge is becoming a key factor for training competitive specialists.Paraphrasing [2], we can determine that the university's scientific knowledge as the combination of data and information with added opinions, skills and experience of the university's scientists and faculty members is a valuable asset that can provide an advantage in the market of educational services in project activities, scientific and practical work, and innovative activities.The intellectual capital or intangible assets of the university are the source of new scientific knowledge. Edvinsson developed a hierarchical structure of intellectual capital of a higher education institution -a "Skandia Value Scheme" model [3]. The main components of this model are human assets (the capital) and innovating capital which are tacit knowledge.Tacit knowledge form the human capital which is embodied in the university staff as a body of knowledge, qualifications, each employee's innovation, as the system of values, culture and philosophy of the institution. It is believed that practical tacit knowledge is the key to decision making and management.There is a continuous exchange between explicit and implicit knowledge and their transformation. [4]. Nonaka I., Takeuchi H. suggested a cyclical process of knowledge transformation: socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization.Kantner defines the concept of knowledge management as a strategy for the organization and the process of knowledge transformation [5], [6]. Currently, there is the increasing number of research papers devoted to the issue of the community of practitioners' knowledge management and the implementation of individual processes of knowledge transformation. [7], [8].The European concept of knowledge management [2] identifies five processes of knowledge life cycle: knowledge identification, creation, storage, distribution and use. Knowledge ...
