This study is one of the first empirical studies on intellectual capital (IC) in South American textile exporting companies. Using the resources and capabilities approach, we examine how certain intangibles can provide competitive advantages. We propose and test a model capturing the relationships between IC components and export performance (EP), as well as the various interrelationships among the different dimensions of IC. Using a sample of textile manufacturers operating in Peru, an emerging economy, we find that both human capital and structural capital have a significantly positive influence on EP. However, the data analysis does not confirm that relational capital has any positive influence on export performance.

Objective: This research examines  the relationship of various factors on  student achievement, as measured  by the PISA test, which is applied in  more than 60 countries every three  years. The aim is to analyze which of  them have more to results.  Method: lts main focus is the  evaluation of the ability of reading  and mathematical understanding at  various levels. There are many  variables that can influence those  outcomes, generically classified as  internal (inherent in the education  system) and external (environmental  or ambient).  Results: The data used come from  the World Bank for the past 10 years  (most recent data 2012). The results  indicate that although each of the  selected variables exerts some  influence on the quality of education  as measured by the academ...
