Index.

"The 'Comprehensive Intellectual Capital Management' (CICM)
approach Ms. Al-Ali has developed is truly groundbreaking in that
it effectively addresses one of the most significant challenges in
the intellectual capital management (ICM) arena today: the ability
to directly link ICM to bottom line business value. The integration
of innovation processes with knowledge (KM) and intellectual asset
management (IAM), combined with a robust portfolio management
discipline are the most critical and unique components of the CICM
approach. Additionally, the fact that CICM can be customized to fit
the strategic direction, operational structure, and culture of a
company is also a very appealing aspect of this bottom line-based
approach. This book speaks to every person in the ICM chain, the
inventor, market manager, patent attorney, finance manager, IA
manager, research manager, business manager, production manager,
and most importantly, the CFO."-- David Near

"This is a seminal work in that vast wilderness where law merges
with business. It should be dog-eared and underlined with notes in
the margin by any lawyer or business leader who cares about how
intellectual capital is valued and how it should be managed to
maximize growth and profit. This is the critical knowledge for the
next decade and beyond."--John D. Hutson

"Management and reporting of Intellectual Capital has become one
of the most important issues facing business and society in the
knowledge economy. Much work has been done around the world trying
to develop general acceptable solutions. Nermien Al-Ali presents in

for ways of better managing and reporting Intellectual Capital."
