Editorial Reviews
Review
'Max Boisot has written a book for any thinking manager, politician or lawyer interested in the role of information and intellectual property in the evolution of the information economy'. Ian MacMillan, George W. Taylor Professor of Entrepreneurial Studies, The Wharton School of Management.
'For those struggling to understand how knowledge-based organizations can develop and exploit their distinctive competences, Boisot's book provides profound insights and challenges'. Dr Keith Blois, Templeton College, University of Oxford
...this is for the scientist who want to impree managers. It's a serious book. - Harold Thimbleby. New Scientist.
`In his new book Boisot... addresses and explores new issues that are relevant from a managerial point of view. Without any doubt Boisot's I-space theory is one of the most comprehensive theories in the management literature.' Sage 3ublications.
...his book represents an important step towards the development of a knowledge-based theory of the firm. It is likely to be of use to academics, as well as the growing clan of practitioners in firms who are interested in management and organisational theory. THES. 23/07/99.
`It delivers new insights into the ways that firms can maximise the returns to be had from their distinctive competences, capabilities and technologies. Also informative are Boisot's insights into the factors that impact on the diffusion of knowledge.' Jane Millar - THES
Product Description
It is now widely recognized that the effective management of knowledge assets is a key requirement for securing competitive advantage in the emerging information economy. Yet the physical and institutional differences between tangible assets and knowledge assets remains poorly understood. If we are to meet the challenges of the information economy, then we need a new approach to property rights based on a deeper theoretical understanding of knowledge assets.
This clear, accessible study provides some of the key building blocks needed for a theory of knowledge assets. Boisot develops a powerful conceptual framework--the Information-Space or I-Space--for exploring the way knowledge flows within and between organizations. This framework will enable managers and students to explore and understand how knowledge and information assets differ from physical assets, and how to deal with them at a strategic level within their organizations.
