520    "Technology acquisition, consultancy know-how, research 
       data and services, marketing information, intellectual 
       property. the list of sources and types of knowledge that 
       organizations need to acquire, share and manage is growing
       exponentially. The acquisition and management of knowledge
       as an end in itself is relatively new, but has grown in 
       importance on most managers? agendas over the past fifteen
       years and is something that many managers are still 
       fundamentally ill-equipped to control effectively. Yet it 
       is their ability to plan, source, evaluate, acquire and 
       manage knowledge on which the success of their 
       organizations increasingly depends Peter Sammons provides 
       managers with a readable, highly practical guide to buying
       and managing knowledge. The author looks at the knowledge 
       economy, to set the scene on the manager's growing 
       responsibility to buy-in knowledge for their organization.
       He explores intellectual property rights: how they are 
       created, transferred and protected. He sets out some 
       alternative strategies to buying knowledge. There's advice
       on how to work with universities, contract research 
       organizations and consultancy firms. And the most 
       neglected area of all - knowledge transfer from supplier 
       to buyer - is given exhaustive treatment. In a discipline 
       (knowledge work) that is fraught with jargon, technology 
       and arcane practice, Buying Knowledge enables every 
       manager to acquire the knowledge their organization needs;
       in a form and at a cost that is most appropriate for them 
       without exposing their organization to litigation or 
       intellectual property disputes."--Provided by publisher
