The Management of Intellectual Property
Edited by Derek Bosworth, Emeritus Professor, University of Manchester and Senior Research Associate, Oxford Intellectual Property Research Centre, St Peter's College, Oxford, UK and Elizabeth Webster, Principal Research Fellow, Intellectual Property, Research Institute of Australian and Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research, University of Melbourne, Australia.
This book brings together innovative contributions on the management of intellectual property (IP) and intellectual property rights by an esteemed and multi-disciplinary group of economists, management scientists, accountants and lawyers.
Offering a broad and enlightening picture of the measurement and management of IP, the contributors argue that the shift towards a knowledge-based economy has increased the importance of IP and more generally, intangible assets, as a focus for company decision-making behaviour. The book explores these intangible assets, which are driven by investments in R&D marketing, education and training, management information systems and organizational structure. The inherent risk in the development of such assets - born from the involvement of creativity and innovation - is also discussed.
