Reviews
"Success in the marketplace is increasingly linked to an organization's ability to manage and leverage its intellectual capital -- the intangible and often invisible assets such as knowledge and competence of people, intellectual property, and information systems that don't show up directly on the bottom line but are at least as valuable as financial assets. Successful companies of the 21st century will be those who do the best jobs of capturing, storing, and leveraging what their employees know."
