Managing the Knowledge-Intensive Firm

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'Provides a useful summary in the area of knowledge-intensive firms. It applies the theory to practice for researchers'

Sajjad M. Jasimuddin, Aberystwyth University, UK

'Knowledge-intensive businesses represent perhaps the most attractive segment for many companies from the developed world to focus on. This book makes a significant contribution to how to make knowledge-intensive firms successful. Above all, the focus on innovations and entrepreneurship in such firms is key. This book represents a must read to all leaders who are taking their final steps from product-focus to knowledge-intensity.'

Peter Lorange, President, Lorange Institute of Business Zurich

'This book is an important book for those involved in the leadership of knowledge-intensive firms. It provides new insights about such leaders, while building constructively on earlier books about such firms.'

Jay W. Lorsch, Harvard Business School, USA

'In a strong and systematic way the authors present a refreshing approach to the challenges and conditions for managing knowledge-intensive organizations based on highly skilled professionals. They have clear suggestions for a new paradigm for managing these organizations whether private, public or third sector.'

Claes Nilas, Permanent Secretary, Danish Ministry of Refugee, Integration and Immigration Affairs

'Managing knowledge-intensive firms fills an important gap since it concentrates on an important theme that is still relatively neglected - how to run a firm successfully. Everyone with leadership responsibility in our sector will find useful lessons here.'

Alan Leaman, Chief Executive, Management Consultancies Association
