A Core Competency Approach to Valuing Intangible Assets
  This study was aimed at developing a method for measuring the value of a company's intangible assets in terms of their future earning potential. The resulting instrument makes intangibles more transparent, assesses their strength and measures their value based on future cash flows. Its breakthrough methodology capitalises on the combination of the theories of intellectual capital and core competencies of companies. :Daniel Andriessen, Martine Frijlink RA, Inge van Gisbergen, Jan Blom, :KPMG - International Symposium: Measuring and Reporting Intellectual Capital: Experiences, Issues and Prospects :6/1/1999 :Article

Best practice and beyond: Five accounts of knowledge strategies
  Explores the practical implications of a wider view of knowledge for strategy formulation. As traditional structural advantages decay and more products and services enter the global competitive arena, strategies formed around knowledge can change the game and open up new paths to profitability. The bulk of the fixed cost in knowledge products usually lies in creation rather than in manufacturing or distribution. Once the knowledge has been created, the initial development cost can be spread across rising volumes. :Jonathan Day, James Wendler :The McKinsey Quarterly, :6/1/1998 :Article
"What" Is in the World of Work and Working: The Shift to Knowledge Work
  The world of work has been turned topsy- turvy by a shift from manual work to knowledge work. As a result, managers, consultants, academics, and other professionals in the fields of management, performance, and instruction have two reasons to reexamine their relationship to that world: (1) as knowledge workers, it is their world; and, (2) as professionals, it is their market. Discusses skill, role, control and power shifts related to knowledge working. :Fred Nickols :The Distance Consulting Company 2000 :6/1/2000 :Article

Capping the Gusher: Turning Information Torrents into Competitive Power
  Although businesses are awash in information and most are using it to support their current business models, few companies are leveraging information strategically. Firms that do can drive profitable, top-line growth. They also achieve tighter integration across business units, are better able to monitor customer and competitor activity, and tend to be first in identifying new business opportunities. Our research shows how companies can harness information deliberately to help power their businesses. :Jane C. Linder, Edward Sarnowski, Joyce Leung :Accenture Institute for Strategic Change :9/1/2001 :Article

Unlocking the value of intellectual assets
  Too often, hugely promising inventions were unused by the companies that owned them and, at the same time, off-limits to third parties that understood their true value. Meanwhile, as the return on investment in physical assets has declined, the return on intangibles has soared. Insofar as such assets were managed at all, they were mostly managed defensively: after a company's labs developed something new, the legal department would get a patent and try to ensure that third parties didn't infringe on or otherwise misappropriate it. :Alberto Torres :The McKinsey Quarterly :6/1/1999 :Article
