Managing the Knowledge-Intensive Firm
Autor Nicolaj Ejler, Flemming Poulfelt, Fiona Czerniawskaen Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 aug 2011
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. The authors bring their own complementary perspectives on the subject: one, as the manager of a private consulting firm with a strong research background; another, as a business school professor whose practice-based skills are fundamental to his work; and a third, a world leading commentator on professional service firms acting as a consultant, business school researcher and a manager.
Ejler, Poulfelt and Czerniawska present a new model for transforming the management of knowledge-intensive firms, which is supported throughout with practical examples and cases.

Recenzii
'Provides a useful summary in the area of knowledge-intensive firms. It applies the theory to practice for researchers'
Sajjad M. Jasimuddin, Aberystwyth University, UK
'Knowledge-intensive businesses represent perhaps the most attractive segment for many companies from the developed world to focus on. This book makes a significant contribution to how to make knowledge-intensive firms successful. Above all, the focus on innovations and entrepreneurship in such firms is key. This book represents a must read to all leaders who are taking their final steps from product-focus to knowledge-intensity.'
Peter Lorange, President, Lorange Institute of Business Zurich
'This book is an important book for those involved in the leadership of knowledge-intensive firms. It provides new insights about such leaders, while building constructively on earlier books about such firms.'
Jay W. Lorsch, Harvard Business School, USA
'In a strong and systematic way the authors present a refreshing approach to the challenges and conditions for managing knowledge-intensive organizations based on highly skilled professionals. They have clear suggestions for a new paradigm for managing these organizations whether private, public or third sector.'
Claes Nilas, Permanent Secretary, Danish Ministry of Refugee, Integration and Immigration Affairs
'Managing knowledge-intensive firms fills an important gap since it concentrates on an important theme that is still relatively neglected ߝ how to run a firm successfully. Everyone with leadership responsibility in our sector will find useful lessons here.'
