Knowledge Capital offers enterprise leaders, managers, network members, and students ready access to many of the best thought leaders and practitioners in knowledge management and intellectual capital. The easily accessible conversations with these creators of the field focus on the most important dimensions and ingredients for becoming a knowledge-based enterprise. A reader can take precisely the elements it needs to fashion the building blocks necessary for an enterprise’s transition.

Knowledge Capital is arranged in five major knowledge clusters to provide the reader:

• Starting Points: A guide to the kind of context that is necessary for a knowledge enterprise to thrive
• Strategic Issues: An outline of what strategy means in a knowledge-based organization
• Human Capital, Values and Learning: An exploration of the changing roles and relationships of leaders, managers, and the frontline at a time when the old social contract is in taters and the new social contract is taking form
• Drivers and Accounting for Intangible Value: An examination of what drivers and valuation measures matter for intangible assets, and
• Bringing It All Together: Hands-on stories of how knowledge capital practitioners have worked to transformed their organizations into knowledge-based enterprises.

This is exactly the kind of hard-won knowledge that anyone interested in the fields of intellectual capital and knowledge management can sorely use. People want to know how things really work, how core ideas and approaches came into being and how they can be made to work, what the fundamental domain questions, and how things are converging to form the next stage of the field. Knowledge Capital, in an authentic, broadly embracing, clear and dynamic way, makes available to the reader precisely that kind of usable knowledge capital.
