Why you should read The Knowledge Entrepreneur
Some books offer a dollop of innovative thought, a portion of an effective review of previous ideas and a measure of practical application - without really excelling in any one aspect. A book without a clear overriding theme has trouble reaching its potential, especially in a field as well plowed as this one. Author Colin Coulson-Thomas tries to meet that challenge as he explains the growing importance of entrepreneurs in the fertile fields of knowledge. The author looks at knowledge capital from different perspectives: theoretical, practical, entrepreneurial and corporate. He hopes to help individuals and companies profit from their knowledge by marketing it through informational offerings or performance enhancing tools. However, he teaches, you can only maximize your information’s commercial potential if you truly understand its value. The book includes a CD-ROM and extensive checklists to help you consider your intellectual property initiatives from every angle. getAbstract.com recommends this worthy effort to corporate leaders who want to protect and build their firms’ intellectual property and profit in the knowledge economy.
