Abstract
Technological and marketing skills, innovative capacity, competencies and human capital
are currently the subject of increasing and frequent focus in the economic press and the
managers’ discourses, whereas researches and writings about management knowledge are
outnumbering 6, as well as those about organizational skills 16, organizational
knowledge [1], and in a more general way about the immaterial investments. This
transversal theme seems to be marking the managerial and professional studies supposing
that the sustainable resources which are fundamentally at the service of businesses are
increasingly arranged in terms of human capital. The interest of researchers in this
important component of the immaterial capital of a business, which surfaced since the
beginnings of the 1990s, is due to the fact that human capital has become an essential key to
the competitiveness of the business itself. In the current theoretical approaches, the
intangible resources are in the core of the process of the value’s creation. The increasing
need of a new generation of analytical materials are experienced to assess the
organizational performance from the perspective of managers, shareholders and investors
just as the other interested parties 7. Well known opinions/views argued in favor of this
just like the ones by the Scandinavian group Skandia that compiled a list of the criteria
focusing on human capital.
Keywords: human capital, performance, business, management.
