Intellectual Capital
Intellectual Capital: The new wealth of organization | Thomas A. Stewart
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Visionary in scope, Intellectual Capital is the first book that shows how to turn the untapped knowledge of an organization into its greatest competitive weapon. Thomas A. Stewart demonstrates how knowledge--not natural resources, machinery, or financial capital--has become the most important factor in economic life. Through practical advice, stories, and case histories, Stewart reveals how organizations and individuals can create and use the knowledge assets they need. Dazzling in its ability to make conceptual sense of the economic revolution we are living through, this ingenious book cuts through the vague rhetoric of "paradigm shifts" to show how the Information Age economy really works. Intellectual Capital should be read as if the futures of your company and your career depend on it. They do. From the Trade Paperback edition.

I probably should have read this in 2006 when I bought this copy but better late than never? Much of what Stewart discusses is not only still relevant today but something organizations continue to struggle with and need desperately to figure out. I‘m feeling a bit reinvigorated to head back to work after my Christmas break - so this book did its job.

This is why I enjoy reading old business books - to see the ridiculous predictions that have never even been close to coming true.
