The purpose of this paper is to develop a strategic perspective of the organisational intellectual capital through a shift from the static, dynamic, and evolving intellectual capital paradigms to a strategic intellectual capital paradigm. We introduce the entropic intellectual capital model based on a new conceptual framework. The main features of this new model are: intellectual capital is a result of the dynamics of the cognitive, emotional, and spiritual knowledge fields; intellectual capital potential can be transformed into operational intellectual capital through the work of integrators; dynamic capabilities contribute to the renewal of the potential intellectual capital through innovation and learning; and leadership vision is the entropic driving force of strategy elaboration and implementation.
