The objective of this research is to analyze the intellectual capital and other determinants of competitive advantage in exporting companies in northern Honduras, from two perspectives: the theory of resources and capabilities, and the theory of the firm based on the knowledge. At the end of the hypothesis test data were used by probit regression. The evidence found indicates that having more intellectual capital, the seniority of the exporting company, the size and degree of requirement of the destination country, they are relevant variables that influence in a positive way the level of competitive advantage. It is believed that the results contribute to the literature on the level of competitive advantage in exporting firms in developing countries being the first work of this kind in Honduras. As a future line of research must be carried out an identification, classification and measurement of intellectual capital and competitive advantage, both variables measured longitudinally.

Keywords : Intellectual capital; Competitive advantage; Exporting companies.
