Summary: Over the past few years there has been a significant expansion of the difference between the assets of the companies registered on the balance sheet and the true market value. This difference has led to several scholars to identify the component of this additional value as an intangible asset or intellectual capital. On the other hand, one of the more recent processes in the era of globalization is the relocation of businesses, usually multinationals shifting their workplaces or their production from developed countries to countries with lower labor costs, resulting in many cases a mass dismissal of workers. Considering that a substantial amount of intellectual capital is reflected in the knowledge, skills, competencies and values inherent in individuals and groups that make up an organization, this paper attempts, after defining the processes generating organizational knowledge through collective learning of individuals or groups that make up the organization, check the models to measure intellectual capital available, and analyze the characteristics of the current relocation of businesses, identifying the components of intellectual capital that area affected in this process, particularly those inherent in the people, and breaking the organizational learning process - we call desaprendizaje organization, in addition to analyzing the causes and effects of this process. The main contribution of this work is precisely the proposal and a description of the components of intellectual capital and organizational learning process that are affected as a result of the phenomenon of offshoring companies, as well as analysis of the causes and effects of this process, very important aspect, because the company who move from one country to another, depending do, above all, better manage costs, without coming to an effective measurement of the opportunity cost imposed ignorance of which elements of its intellectual capital and his organizational skills may be affected in the process. The analysis uses empirical research explorativa through a case study, because the main purpose is to develop, clarify and suggest concepts and ideas for formulating approaches basis for subsequent studies. Looking describe reality without worrying at modify, research is descriptive, while having evaluative nature, while seeking to verify whether there were similarities between the concepts and methodology made on the reality of the decisions of the organization .
