Knowledge Management and Management Theory: An Analysis of Sullivan's Conceptualisation of Knowledge Within Organisations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sullivan’s model presents an opportunity to explore the management of intellectual property (IP) as a specialised activity in the discipline of knowledge management. The model is analysed in terms of strengths and weaknesses to gain a better understanding of the relationship between knowledge, the demands of the new economy and the role of intellectual property in organisations. The analysis focuses on the central importance of managers as key agents in the creation and delivery of value through the commercialisation of IP.
