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.

Review
A well-balanced illustration of the concepts that surround the strategic management of intellectual capital and knowledge, with interesting and relevant papers arranged into logical sections chapters throughout the book. Managing Information An excellent overview of the range of theoretical perspectives and research undertaken to date ... One of the most useful aspects of the book is that the knowledge building blocks (or the history of intellectual capital) are described in a logical order, which help the reader understand and interpret current thinking surrounding intellectual capital.

An Essential Compendium for the Serious Strategist,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Strategic Management of Intellectual Capital and Organizational Knowledge (Paperback)
Not a faddish management consultant recipe book. This reference tome contains an important selection of the latest thinking on organizational management. The authors' various perspectives on managing from a knowledge perspective lead the reader to do some serious thinking. I find myself returning to it again and again for further insights.
