“Intangible Capital: Putting Knowledge to Work in the 21st Century Organization” is for every manager struggling to succeed and innovate in today’s knowledge-based economy. This must-have handbook takes the ten basic building blocks of traditional, industrial-era businesses and defines their knowledge-era equivalents—intangibles as the new raw material, intangible capital (IC) as the new factory, IC assessment as the new balance sheet, and networks as the new organization chart—providing ready-to-implement ideas for managers adapting to the realities of business today.
