Abstract

This article addresses the issue related to the management of intellectual capital and fulfillment of strategic planning goals, taking as the emphasis the neoclassical administrative theory. The methodological approach implemented in this research was the mixed method, since quantitative and qualitative data was obtained and analyzed through a questionnaire, which was administered to 121 teachers from nongovernmental institutes of Choluteca, Honduras, record sheets on proposed and achieved goals in eight different schools and qualitative data through interviews and focus groups. This research sought to verify a positive correlation to prove that the better management of intellectual capital, the greater the fulfillment of strategic planning goals; the results were analyzed to verify association and correlation between variables and level of significance. In consequence, the results permitted to describe that the conditions of strategic planning can be measured from the perspective of the management of intellectual capital, since the success of the strategic plan does not lie in the "quality" to prepare it, but in the capacity of the executive team to manage it. It was demonstrated through the Pearson's coefficient, statistical analysis that the management of intellectual capital explains 83.4% of the variance of the fulfillment of the strategic planning goals.
