Since there is no clarity on how the elements that make up knowledge management are related in the context of the solidarity economy in Latin America, the objective of the article is to analyze the interaction between the dimensions of knowledge management in savings and credit cooperatives from Barranquilla (Colombia). For this, a positivist, explanatory, cross-sectional, non-experimental, and field study was developed in the entire population. As an instrument, a Likert-type ordinal scale questionnaire was used, with five response options and a reliability of 0.95. The principal component analysis (factorial analysis) was used as a statistical tool. The results highlight that human capital presents significant burdens, both in the organizational learning factor and in that of intellectual capital; thus explaining 62.9% of knowledge management in this type of organization. Which suggests a link between both factors mediated by individuals, thus contributing to the transformation of tacit to explicit knowledge. Likewise, it is observed that managers assign greater value to technologies when they are integrated into structural capital in the form of support systems. It is concluded that, in the context of the companies studied, organizational learning constitutes a natural and systematized process that differs from KM, when leaders assume responsibility for action.

Relational capital constitutes one of the components of the intellectual capital of any organization, which reflects the value provided by the relationships that it establishes with the agents in the environment with which it interacts during the development of its activity. Because organizations maintain a wide range of relationships of different nature, relational capital has a direct impact on efficacy, understood as the degree to which objectives and goals are achieved. However, the review of the most relevant theory that has been generated in the field of knowledge management to date shows that interest has been oriented mainly towards human and structural capital, the other two components of intellectual capital, and there is a lack of methodological tools for the effective management of relational capital. For this reason, this paper aims to reflect on the importance of relational capital and its relationship with efficacy, as well as to propose a comprehensive model for its management, which involves different organizational variables, and to present its validation through a factor analysis in the context of Mexican small and medium-sized enterprises.

The article reflects the need for universities to manage knowledge, making a study of postgraduate courses, as generator of knowledge from their academic and research function. Its objective is: to diagnose the management of knowledge and its relationship with the intellectual capital and the academic scientific production that the postgraduate units of the National University of San Agustin de Arequipa have. A methodology is use of a descriptive correlational research, with a mixed, diagnostic and field approach. The results showed a significant relationship between the generation, preservation and dissemination of knowledge and intellectual capital in its human, relational and structural dimensions, presenting administrative, cognitive, technological deficiencies and lack of management expertise; which determines a low level in research and academic/scientific production. It´s concluded that knowledge management within the framework of intellectual capital. It constitutes an essential resource to achieve innovative results and competitive advantages.

This article addresses the importance of human capital to adequately manage organizational knowledge and proposes strategies that allow enhancing the capacities and competencies of key people, to achieve this end. The methodology that was implemented was empirical-analytical, based on the audit model for key processes of the organization, and was developed in two phases: descriptive, with the construction of the flow, inventory and knowledge map of the Law program of the University of Manizales; and propositional, with the formulation of guidelines for the optimization of knowledge management in the intervened program. The knowledge audit was necessary to identify critical knowledge, who possessed it, how they managed it, and thereby conclude that the most important asset in terms of knowledge management of an organization is the human being himself, and the way in which projects its potentialities.
