1.0 out of 5 stars
Provides little practical advice on use of IC in business, October 5, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Intellectual Capital: Navigating in the New Business Landscape (Hardcover)
Although Roos and Edvinson are well known in the field, this book provides only the most superficial treatment of what is anyhow a "light" topic. Many of the examples cited verge on the specious - at the level of "invest in R&D - 3M made a fortune so could you". The treatment of linkage between strategy and intellectual capital measures is also very weak. Beyond asserting that you need one, they don't really provide much else to guide you here.
Other better books exist both on Intellectual Capital itself, and the management of intangibles more generally.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Fathoming the intangible weatlh or organizations, August 6, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Intellectual Capital: Navigating in the New Business Landscape (Hardcover)
For anyone trying to get a solid grasp of, and appreciation for, the idea of intellectual capital, this book is a winner. Moreover, the authors present an intellectual capital system that gives more insight into the intangible wealth that is the ultimate fount of future organizational innovation and growth. An impressive contribution.
