The essence of intellectualization and its manifestations as well as structural and qualitative transformations of an entrepreneurial environment are highlighted. Specific features of an innovative enterprise, viewed as a key business model in a knowledge-based economy, are identified. It is emphasized that the concepts of free enterprise and intellectual entrepreneur have a new understanding. The importance of qualitative changes is underlined, and the peculiarities of intellectual entrepreneurship are determined, particularly those related to acquisition and use of advanced knowledge. The latter is considered as the most important resource. A systematic review of factors influencing the formation and development of intellectual corporate entrepreneurship is completed. It is proved that under current conditions, intellectual entrepreneurship requires a new holistic approach which is based on organizational synapses created by experience or training opportunities. In addition to giving a critical analysis of development outcomes of innovative entrepreneurship, the article reveals key negative factors and trends that hinder spreading of innovative activities in domestic enterprises.
