Due to the ongoing globalisation of the markets, and thus increasing unpredictability of the business environment, the concept of intelligent organisation based on the intelligence of human resources is gaining significance. However, in order to effectively use the knowledge, skills and experience of individual employees, and to transfer knowledge, it has become necessary to also take into account the social capital represented by such resources as trust, loyalty and credibility. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to prove the significance of social capital for intellectual entrepreneurship. Business entities which take social capital into consideration might count on gaining new competitive advantages, associated, e.g., with information, innovation or communication.
