The article examines the knowledge as an «invisible asset» of a company produced in the course of entrepreneurial activity and the activity of the company’s employees. It is assumed that the entrepreneurial knowledge generated at the company can be transmitted, generally only from one person to another, because this knowledge is difficult to not only formulate but also articulate. The article presents knowledge classification on the basis of its formalization and accessibility for business entities. The author offers the hypothesis that the type of entrepreneurial knowledge owned by the organization is a major factor in the establishment, implementation and application of innovative technologies in the economy. Calculated by the author econometric model of multiple linear regression describing the dependence of advanced manufacturing technologies developed in Russia on various factors indirectly confirms the proposed hypothesis.
