The Value of Knowledge
|
The Value of Knowledge Data and information become static and outdated as soon as they are published. Through the internet, written research is readily available to any individual or organisation at the click of a button. But companies who build their intellectual advantages on the basis of knowledge instead, stand the best chance of innovating, making progress and succeeding. |
