Este estudio evaluó el grado de comprensión que los gestores de grandes empresas brasileñas tienen del concepto de Capital Intelectual, en comparación con el concepto expuesto en la literatura, para obtener fundamentos que muestren la tendencia de su desarrollo y aplicación en la realidad económica y empresarial brasileña. La investigación exploratoria y descriptiva estaba basada en una muestra formada por 30 gestores. El análisis de los datos, tratados por medio del método cualitativo (Análisis de Contenido) y del método cuantitativo (análisis de cluster y prueba de Mann-Whitney) sugiere que los gestores tienen una comprensión del concepto similar a la de la teoría, identifican los elementos de acuerdo con el de la teoría y realizan inversiones en estos elementos. Además se identificó una predisposición positiva de los gestores para aplicar modelos de control de gestión, en razón de no haber seguimiento de estas inversiones. De esa forma se comprobó que hay espacio para desarrollar modelos que contemplen la gestión de los elementos del capital Intelectual por medio de la Contabilidad de Gestión. Palabras clave: Capital intelectual. Contabilidad de Gestión. Concepto de capital intelectual.
