The content and specific features of the competitive advantages of the region are due to the fact that the modern regional economy is represented by a complex system of territorially integrated production complexes of various industries, spheres and sectors of the economy. It is determined that the interaction of intellectual-educational and production systems as basic spheres of formation and development of competitive advantages of the region is characterized by a multiplier effect arising on the basis of cluster integration of industrial, intellectual-educational and infrastructural spheres within the given territory. The growth of the competitiveness of the regional economy is associated with the realization, first of all, of innovative competitive advantages, although the realization of traditional competitive advantages is also important. It is proved that the innovative development of the regional economy (as determined by competitive advantage) is due to the globalization of the world economy, increased competition, reduced opportunities for extensive development and involves the formation of large universities of innovation and research type as generators of innovation in the regions. It is proved that competitive advantages are concentrated in those regions that intensify innovation in regional education, form a regional economy based on knowledge and communication technologies, accelerate the innovation cycle through the widespread dissemination and transfer of knowledge-intensive technologies and intellectual property generation. Stimulating innovative breakthrough, form of cooperation between universities and employers, creation of corporate universities: concluding an agreement on opening additional programs that reflect the direct order of the enterprise, and the university's task is to implement the order (by creating a specialized scientific infrastructure around universities.

Seeks to identify the different behaviors related to the valuation of the components of intellectual capital showing the profile of the HEIs sector, based on actions that favor the increase of value of certain components of intellectual capital that have been considered of little relevance to the IES and that may constitute potential competitive advantages. For that, a set of metrics are proposed to evaluate intellectual capital with the purpose of increasing the value of HEIs, through indicators of continuous improvement.Este artículo pretende analizar la ponderación de los componentes del capital intelectual, así como valorar su importancia en la percepción y creación de valor en las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES).

This research particularly aimed to examine mediating roles of Information Technology (IT) innovation under the influences of IT governance to improve competitive advantages of institutions. For this primary goal, it was conducted both quantitatively and qualitatively. Apart from an empirical survey with active participation of 85 private schools of informatics management and computing in Indonesia, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) were applied. Heads of respective schools became the informants. Quantitative data results emphasize that IT governance has indirect influences on competitive advantages. Mediating roles of IT innovation, however, positively and significantly improve such advantages. This paper suggests the essence of IT governance and IT innovation in improving higher education institutions in developing and developed countries.
