The professional knowledge economy : the management and integration of professional services in business organizations

Knowledge is the great fifth production factor in our economy, besides capital, labour, land, and entrepreneurship. Economists have tried to grasp the knowledge factor, measuring and assessing it in terms of the pools of R&D-expenditures, patented innovations, licences, and other forms of knowledge that can be documented.
