Description: Divided into three sections, the book is filled with the practices and procedures of companies that are in the vanguard of ICM - Dow Chemical, Xerox, Rockwell International, Skandia, and Hewlett-Packard. The first part of the book presents essential terms and concepts, along with basic material on the principles of value extraction and a discussion of the usefulness of values in the management of intellectual capital. The two subsequent sections offer methods for IC measurement, management, and monitoring, as well as important techniques for extracting value - including such practical initiatives as creating an intellectual property database, patent trees, and more.
