Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyse the organisational intellectual capital as an integral result of a generative process. The dynamics of this process is based on some core integrators. Each integrator acts on some constitutive organisational elements and by combining those produces a result whose magnitude is larger than the sum of individual contributions. The resultant organisational intellectual capital is not exactly a multiplier of these basic individual components since tacit and explicit knowledge have a non-linear nature and they cannot be combined based on linear laws. We are going to analyse the following organisational integrators: technology and its associated processes, management and leadership, vision and mission, and organisational culture.

Keywords: intellectual capital; intelligence; integrators; knowledge; values; technology; management; leadership; vision; mission; organisational culture.
