It is high quality knowledge which provides the opportunities for adding exclusive value to products and services. At the same time, the development of knowledge is gaining momentum.

The Netherlands is presently the country with the highest productivity in commercial services. The authors devote much attention to the tools available to the knowledge enterprise, such as lateral structures, personnel management and information technology. |
