Information and knowledge are among the few remaining strategic resources in the post-industrial world. These resources are often viewed as products of IT infrastructure. The authors examine information and knowledge independently of the technical perspective in this book. The competitive advantage derived from information and knowledge crucially depends on the substantive significance and the appropriate application at the right time. This book presents holistic management approaches for utilizing information and knowledge in a corporate context, including many practical heuristics and pragmatic solutions. Additionally, it outlines the company sizes and industries for which a professional approach to the resource of knowledge can create value.
