2.0 out of 5 stars Overall disappointing book on an interesting subject, 21 May 2001
Although the author deserves credit for promoting the importance of a company's intellectual capital and offers some hints on developping and maintaining it, overall the book was a disappointment. Reading the book, you get the impression the author assembled parts of other books, interviews he conducted and other documents he may have consulted, and brought them together in this book. The result however seems like a continuous quote from what other people have to say on the subject, and you get the impression you're actually reading a work from 50 authors rather than one. I also found it to be way too theoretical, which is probably the most important reason I didn't enjoy reading it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great guide to developing & managing intellectual capital., 27 Jan 2000
By A Customer
This is a useful, intelligent and very readable book. Every now and again you come across a body of ideas that allow you to see something familiar from a new and enlightening perspective, so that familiar material makes sense in a whole new way. That was my experience repeatedly in reading this book.

There's plenty of agreement in business for 'our people are our most valuable asset'. As a consultant specialising in increasing the value of that asset, it was a joy for me to explore a fresh and powerful set of financial arguments for actually trusting, empowering and investing in people!

Stewart defines intellectual capital as 'intellectual material - knowledge, information, intellectual property, experience - that can be put to use to create wealth.' He argues that knowledge has become the pre-eminent economic resource. If that's so, it makes sense that managing it becomes the most important economic task of individuals and businesses.

The big question is 'how do you do that?' At the heart of the book is Stewart's answer to that question; the distinction he draws between three kind of intellectual capital - human, structural and customer capital - and his discussion of strategies for managing and developing each of them. The book explores the practical consequences of this for the economy, companies, and individual careers. He even has interesting and practical things to say in the area where most 'soft skills' specialists get stuck - how to measure and account for what they do.

One good test of a business book is 'does reading it actually make you do things differently?' We've already started.

3.0 out of 5 stars This book provides an insightful overview, 15 Mar 2002
By RLM "RLM" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This is a good book, it provides the reader with a strong insight into what Intellectual Capital is all about. It also confirms the difficulties around measuring Intellectual Capital and the valuation of IC.
