Editorial Reviews

To thrive in the information age, businesses must become knowledge-asset organizations with knowledge- based management. Liebowitz (U. of Maryland-Baltimore County) and Beckman (information systems, IRS) demonstrate how this transformation can be accomplished through innovative principles, expert systems technologies, and case studies. Especially intriguing is the concluding discussion of human-machine symbiosis in the future. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

"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."
