This article aims to explore the scientific focus of the role of intellectual capital in the innovation of the entrepreneurial enterprise. To achieve the proposed objective we developed a literature review explaining the triple division of intellectual capital into human capital, structural capital and relational capital. The concept of entrepreneurship and innovation are other critical concepts that are important in our literature review. The study analyzes the work already done and presents a summary of the results achieved. We verified that the research concludes that innovation is positively related with intellectual capital. The literature shows that behind is an enterprising entrepreneur (human capital) that provides internal and external connections, enhancing thus the dynamic growth of intellectual capital and business entrepreneurship. The entrepreneur (human capital) is the one who stands out as a promoter of the company, managing the company focused mainly on innovation and adaptability.
