The protection of a company's intellectual property would rank highly on most companies' list of corporate priorities, but many organizations - when actually tested by a crisis - show themselves to be woefully unprepared in terms of response, contingency or recovery. Managing Knowledge Security is a comprehensive reference work that details how to secure both the physical and intangible assets owned by a business. Citing international examples such as Hewlett, Packard, Microsoft, Google, Boeing and Amazon, Kevin Desouza covers all aspects of knowledge protection - from employee retention strategies to physical security and how to respond to unexpected crises. Whatever the size of your organization, knowledge security has to be a key issue for any manager. Managing Knowledge Security will prove to be an invaluable roadmap for both the management and protection of your company's most valuable assets. Book jacket. Distributed by Syndetic Solutions, Inc.
