Summary/Abstract: Knowledge is one of the most important factors of appropriate and effective introduction of innovations by enterprises. In a knowledge based society, it is knowledge resources that determine whether enterprises are able to create innovations and outstrip market competitors. The paper is an attempt to present the importance of knowledge as an indispensible element of enterprises’ innovative activity. The basic aim of the paper has been to show the significant role of knowledge in strengthening enterprises’ innovativeness. These issues are especially relevant to small businesses, which are characterised by limited resources, also in terms of knowledge. In entities of this size the owner-manager is the dominant person and the efficient use of possessed internal resources, in particular human potential, depends on his/her versatile skills and knowledge.
