The increasing investment in intangibles and the growth of markets of goods and services based on knowledge shows that these assets that comprise the intellectual capital are the key to strategic management of organizations in the knowledge economy. In increasingly competitive markets, where it is mandatory to innovate constantly, the value of products and services seems to depend more and more on the percentage of technology, knowledge and intelligence embedded in them. Given this reality, intellectual capital should be considered a strategic resource and the ability to manage it, a key factor for success. This study intends to address this issue reflectively, showing the importance of intellectual capital and its strategic management as a way of developing sustainable competitive advantage for organizations.

Wzrost inwestycji w zasoby niematerialne oraz rozwój rynku towarów i usług opartych na wiedzy dowodzą, że aktywa, które składają się na kapitał intelektualny, są kluczem do strategicznego zarządzania organizacjami w gospodarce opartej na wiedzy. Na coraz bardziej konkurencyjnych rynkach, gdzie koniecznością staje się ciągłe wprowadzanie innowacji, wartość produktów i usług w coraz większym stopniu zależy od ich zaawansowania technologicznego, wiedzy i inteligencji wykorzystanych do ich tworzenia. Należy zatem uznać kapitał intelektualny za zasób strategiczny organizacji, a zdolność do zarządzania nim – za kluczowy czynnik sukcesu przedsiębiorstwa. W artykule zaprezentowano znaczenie kapitału intelektualnego i zarządzania strategicznego tym kapitałem jako czynnika budującego zrównoważoną przewagę konkurencyjną organizacji.
