This paper describes the value that a company has in relation to its intangible assets through the diagnosis of its intellectual capital. In fact, it aims at assessing the existing intellectual capital of a Mexican textile manufacturing company by the identification of knowledge, capacities, experiences, and staff skills. For this, it was necessary to identify each element involved in its intellectual capital -human, organizational, and relational- with the purpose of approaching existing strengths and weaknesses. The methodology used was basically descriptive, aiming at describing the relevant components of intellectual capital. Consequently, data and statistics about company staff were collected -57 employees-, based on questionnaires and polls and the outcomes were ranged in a scale from 1 to 5, being 5 the highest rate for each intellectual capital dimension. The results were as follows: 4.27 for relational capital; 3,80 for organizational capital, and 3,69 for human capital. Based on this, different growing company opportunity areas were identified, reaching the stated organizational goals.

Keywords : intellectual capital; human capital; organizational capital; relational capital; knowledge management; intangible assets; human talent; Mexican industry.
