Production of information and knowledge is booming. Access to and availability of information and knowledge are better than ever before. However, we can observe companies and countries which use existent knowledge more effectively than others. This paper describes the role of information and knowledge in economic theory, discusses the difficulties of transferring knowledge and analyses the fact that in many cases created knowledge does not get introduced to markets. Innovation and entrepreneurship are the missing link that should be strengthened in order to transform knowledge into new products, processes, services, and markets. That is why changes are necessary within companies as well as in the education system in order to apply and commercialize more of the generated knowledge.
