Managing the Knowledge-Intensive Firm

By Fiona Czerniawska, Nicolaj Ejler, Flemming Poulfelt

Over the last decade, there has been a substantial rise in the number of knowledge-intensive firms. The core assets of these businesses are the people themselves and so, successful managers of knowledge-intensive firms must inspire their employees and target their individual ambitions, to ensure high performance.

This book examines what sets knowledge-intensive firms apart from other types of organizations, and the resultant organizational and strategic differences in business models, talent management, and client-handling approaches. A new model for transforming the management of knowledge-intensive firms is presented, which is supported throughout with practical examples and cases.
