    El objetivo de este estudio es explorar, a nivel empírico, la relación entre capital intelectual (IC) y capacidades dinámicas en gestión de conocimiento (KMDC), así como el rol de la intensidad de conocimiento (IK) en esta relación. Se abordó una metodología cuantitativa con alcance descriptivo y correlacional utilizando tablas de contingencia, test de residuos tipificados corregidos, test de Mann-Whitney y modelo de ecuaciones estructurales basados en la varianza, en una muestra de 135 organizaciones en Colombia. Los resultados evidencian una relación positiva entre IC y KMDC, además se encontraron diferencias significativas entre empresas con alta y baja IK, lo que sugiere un efecto mediador de IK. La presente investigación aporta al desarrollo de la literatura en cuanto a la comprensión de la relación entre IC y KMDC. Adicionalmente, se propone a los gerentes reconocer la importancia y priorizar la inversión en IC, promoviendo el desarrollo de KMDC y por tanto la generación de ventajas competitivas.

    This study aims to explore, at an empirical level, the relationship between Intellectual Capital (IC) and Knowledge Management Dynamic Capabilities (KMDC) as well as the role of Knowledge Intensity (KI) in this relationship. A quantitative methodology with a descriptive and correlational scope was employed using contingency tables, an adjusted standardized residual test, Mann-Whitney test, and a variance-based structural equation model with a sample of 135 organizations in Colombia. The results show a positive relationship between IC and KMDC. Moreover, significant differences were found between firms with high and low KI, suggesting a mediating effect of KI. This research contributes to expanding the literature on understanding the relationship between IC and KMDC. Managers are also suggested to both acknowledge the relevance of IC and prioritize investment in it, promoting the development of KMDC and therefore the creation of competitive advantages
