At the corporate level, knowledge is a key component of what has become known as intellectual capital, the intangible assets that give a company a sustainable advantage over less-savvy competitors. Davenport and Prusak are also refreshingly candid about potential obstacles to effective knowledge management. Synopsis The definitive primer on knowledge management, this book serves as the hands-on resource of choice for fast companies that recognize knowledge as the only sustainable source of competitive advantage. Drawing from their work with more than 30 firms, the authors examine how all types of companies can effectively understand, analyze, measure, and manage their intellectual assets, turning corporate knowledge into market value. Apt and concise introduction to knowledge management Very readable.
Book is made even more interesting by quotes starting each chapter.
At 178 pages it packs a big punch Short and to the point. This book can be read in one night and will make you think for many more. I ordered four books on the subject of Knowledge Management. One was thrown away. THIS ONE has become required reading in our department.
