This book brings together innovative contributions on the
management of intellectual property (IP) and intellectual property
rights by an esteemed and multi-disciplinary group of economists,
management scientists, accountants and lawyers. Offering a broad
and enlightening picture of the measurement and management of IP,
the contributors argue that the shift towards a knowledge-based
economy has increased the importance of IP and more generally,
intangible assets, as a focus for company decision-making
behaviour. The book explores these intangible assets, which are
driven by investments in R&D, marketing, education and
training, management information systems and organizational
structure. The inherent risk in the development of such assets -
born from the involvement of creativity and innovation - is also
discussed. The Management of Intellectual Property should prove of
use to both students of management and managers in the field who
have to make decisions with regard to investments in, and the
protection of, IP and other intangible assets.
The amount of physical matter in the world is fixed and
improvements to people's material circumstances are only created by
their ability to reconfigure this matter. What distinguishes
labour, and subsequently what allows for differing increments of
value, are our capabilities, skills and understandings. In
addition, the way society synchronises these individual talents and
pieces of knowledge is significant. This innovative book sheds new
light on the emerging confluence between labour and industrial
economics: the view that labour as capital is the dominant factor
of production. This factor is commonly embraced under the term
intangible capital. This book examines the process by which firms
accumulate intangible capital assets using a post-Keynesian
perspective. It will be of interest to labour and industrial
economists, especially those who favour post-Keynesian and
Kaleckian economic thought.
