"The World Congress on Intellectual Capital is unique in the
quality of papers presented. Rather than a rehashing of commonplace
'what we did' recountings by the same old group, these were fresh
presentations of leading-edge material. This collection of papers
from the conference is special for its seminal research, strategic
visions, and thought-provoking discussions. Make sure this book has

business and educational community to fundamentally examine and
explore the emergence of our New Economy. Every learning discipline
is impacted by this deep transformational change. The only way we
will emerge stronger is to continue bringing world-class
researchers and management together to create new solutions or
identify questions that we need to answer. The quality of the
