About this title

Synopsis

Discusses management strategies designed to maximize innovation and growth

Reviews

It has been estimated that by the year 2000 85 percent of all U.S. jobs and 80 percent of all European jobs will be in knowledge-, software-, or technology-based fields. Here, Quinn (management, Dartmouth Coll.) is joined by former Carter Assistant Secretary of Commerce Jordan J. Baruch and innovation consultant Karen A. Zien in a far-reaching treatise on maximizing the power of intellect and innovation. They explain the five levels of knowledge (cognitive, advanced skills, system understanding, motivated creativity, and synthesis and trained intuition) and how knowledge-building and scientific-technological advances interrelate to provide the critical ingredients for economic growth and competitive advantage. Filled with numerous practical examples from real firms, this book nicely supplements Taichi Sakaiya's The Knowledge Value Revolution (Kodansha, 1991) and Michael Dertouzos's hip What Will Be (LJ 5/1/97). Highly recommended for all larger academic libraries.?Dale F. Farris, Groves, Tex.
