Popis: Knowledge management in higher education institutions (HEIs) can be analysed from intellectual capital (IC), which is made up of a series of intangible resources, becoming a valuable element. The purpose of this research is to analyse the creation of core competences based on the interaction between intangible IC resources. A multivariate statistical analysis through Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used as a methodological design. The results show that it is possible to articulate IC intangible resources in core activities that become core competences and strengthen competitive advantages in HEIs. The empirical results show the need to recognise the characteristics and maturity level of IC in each HEI. Regarding the originality and value of the research, no previous studies analysing the relationship between IC, core competences, and competitive advantages in HEIs were identified. It was possible to establish valuable intangible resources among which teaching-learning methods, teacher quality and interdepartmental cooperation alliances stand out.
