By special
permission from the author and his publisher, we
are pleased to provide Knexa readers with an
excerpt from this compelling and eminently
practical book. Packed with examples and case
studies, The Wealth of Knowledge builds a bridge
between the abstract world of Intellectual
Capital theory and the tough realities of
business in the 21st century. With a fast paced
and "in-your-face" style, veteran Fortune writer
Tom Stewart reminds us of what the Knowledge
Economy is all about: money. How to get it, keep
it and make it grow. Anyone who thinks the
phrase "New Economy" was just passing
techno-hype and dot-com reverie should read this
book. It may just save your business.

Review:
A lot of business
books offer you summaries and explanations of
ideas and trends in the marketplace. Few books
contain anything that is actually new. Corporate
Longitude on the other hand is brimming with
original insights and fresh perspectives. This
book gives us a glimpse into one of the most
original business minds of our times,
intellectual capital guru Leif Edvinsson.

| Title: |
Making Markets |
|
Author(s): |
Ajit Kambil and Eric van Heck |
|
Publisher: |
Harvard Business School Press (2002) |
| Format: |
Hardcover |
|
Review:
"Ajit Kambil and
Eric van Heck have written an authoritative and
highly readable book illuminating the
much-misunderstood world of online auctions,
including extensive references to Knexa as a
pioneer in online knowledge markets. In clear,
simple prose, the authors explain that the
initial excitement over online markets was not
all dot.com reverie and new economy hubris.
Given that offline markets such as the Dutch
flower auctions have thrived for centuries, it
stands to reason that online markets will
succeed to the extent that they improve on
existing markets.

Review:
Unlocking
Knowledge Assets is not only a great overview of
the much-misunderstood KM field; it is truly a
breakthrough management science. With great
brevity and clarity the authors outline how
knowledge management's effectiveness can be
accurately measured and linked to the goals of
your business. If managers can pinpoint what
knowledge worker activities are producing
results, then those activities can be encouraged
and rewarded. Taking the maxim "you can't manage
what you can't measure" to heart, this book
provides a first-of-its-kind paradigm that
should shed new light on a firm’s most valuable
and mysterious resource: knowledge.

Review:
"Intellectual
Capital is the currency of the new millennium.
Managing it wisely is the key to business
success in the knowledge era." (Nick Bontis,
Director, Institute of Intellectual Capital
Research, Associate Editor).
In my opinion,
there is no more exciting field of management
study and thought than the profound subject of
Intellectual Capital, or "IC." IC thinking,
pioneered by such leaders as Knexa Advisory
Board member Leif Edvinsson, plumbs the depths
of the burning questions facing managers and
executives in the 21st century. What is a
company "worth?" Do financial statements
accurately disclose and account for all assets
and liabilities of a firm? Are there important
facts about corporations that CEO's and CFO's
are not disclosing because there is no accepted
way to disclose them, such as the value of its
people? How can an organization grapple with and
manage the complex and interwoven web of
stakeholders in our increasingly fluid and
digital world? These questions and more are the
topics covered in this important but little
known journal. To keep up to date on in the
world of IC, a subscription to the Journal of
Intellectual Capital is a must.

Title: |
Realizing the Promise of Corporate
Portals: Leveraging Knowledge for Business Success. |

Author(s): |
José Claudio Terra, Cindy Gordon |

Publisher: |
Butterworth-Heinemann |
|
Format: |
Paperback |
|
|
|
Review:
This is the kind of
book I actually hesitate to recommend because it
is so good my greedy side wants to hoard the
valuable knowledge it contains! I am in the
"knowledge management" business and believe
reading this book has given me a competitive
advantage. I also believe that an organization
seeking to deploy a knowledge portal of any kind
should have this book beside them at all times.
José Claudio Terra and Cindy Gordon get to the
heart of what all the spending on "portals" is
for: to drive value in your business. They also
provide a roadmap for ensuring your efforts and
spending don't go down as yet another misguided
IT boondoggle. The 10 recent and originally
researched case studies are like gold. This is a
very good book. David Brett, CEO, Knexa.
