The Strategic Management of Intellectual Capital and Organizational Knowledge

by Chun Wei Choo (Editor), Nick Bontis (Editor)

Overview

Increasingly, the challenge of management is to create and supply knowledge in order to sustain organizational performance. However, few books on management strategy have been written using this concept as a foundation. This unique volume adopts a knowledge-based approach that will complement and perhaps supplant other perspectives. Editors Nick Bontis and Chun Wei Choo look at the literature through the lens of strategic management and from the vantage point of organizational science. The thirty readings have been carefully selected and commissioned to provide the best literature available—from articles newly written for this book and from existing publications.
