Sažetak
Universities are key providers of a wide range of services in the knowledge-based economy of today: education, training, and consulting in the case of entrepreneurs. On entrepreneurship research, we still lack information about key variables to categorise entrepreneurs. Hence, the goal is to measure the entrepreneurs' needs of services according to the current situation of their intangible dimensions, i.e. their intellectual capital (IC). To the theory, we provide the new intangible approach. To the practice, we provide a tool for university managers to set up their mix of services and meet the entrepreneurs' different needs. We find three types of entrepreneurs. "Embryonic entrepreneurs'" have poorly developed their IC, thus they need basic services to start up the new venture. "Risky self-sufficient entrepreneurs" are worried about basic characteristics of their business (what purchase/sell) while they lack the appropriate intangible dimensions. "Step-by-step entrepreneurs" have highly developed their IC and need for more advanced services.
