Knowledge Capital: How Knowledge-Based Enterprises Really Get Built Book

Knowledge Capital: How Knowledge-Based Enterprises Really Get Built begins by defining the parameters of knowledge management and intellectual capital. An important task of a modern organization is to create an integrated strategy to maximize the value of these two assets. Knowledge Capital is an integrated and structured set of interactive interviews with thought leaders and key practitioners in the fields of intellectual capital and knowledge management that map out how knowledge organizations really get built. These sessions are in the form of conversations that explore the multiple dimensions necessary for creating and implementing a knowledge-based enterprise. Part I, ""Starting Point,"" outlines the transition to knowledge-based enterprises, the changes of perception, relationships, and behaviors required for an organization to become a knowledge-based enterprise. Part II, ""Strategic Issues,"" examines the role of strategy in knowledge-based enterprises, suggesting methodologies, as well as raising questions that must be answered by leaders in any serious knowledge endeavor. Part III, ""Human Capital, Values, and Learning,"" delves into what elements of a new framework for human capital are, the values that support that framework, and the learning structure that enables value to be both created and captured by enterprise. Part IV ""Drivers and Accounting for Intangible Wealth,"" examines the efforts to navigate in an environment where biases and distortions are just being sorted out and alternative methodologies for measuring intangible wealth are beginning to be formulated. Lastly, Part V ""Bringing It All Together"" illustrates a number of different approaches that practitioners are using.
