Abstract
The goal of this paper is to present the essential features of the literature review that relates the intellectual capital and the competitive advantages. On the other hand, it is still an idea, to know if there something that can be interpreted as being particularly noteworthy. In a synthetic way, this idea is that, only one, human capital, of the 3 components of intellectual capital, creates competitive advantages, playing an essential role, training and qualification, together with the innovation and entrepreneurial capacity of the same. If there is more qualification, better management of human capital, more and better competitive advantages will be obtained. The biggest gap in this research is related to the geographic contexts it covers (countries with a lower level of development) and the fact that it concerns with activity sectors of lesser relevance in terms of competitive advantages. Innovation needs further conceptual specification and its relationship with intellectual capital and competitive advantages.
