Great insight into human capital and knowledge management
As co-founder of Human Capital Technology Inc. and active in the area of Knowledge Management, this book provides an essential history of information and knowledge management. By providing an historical perspective, the book clearly and simply explains the relationships between those who have information and those who want information and how that relationship has and continues change. While the authors use the Investment Banking industry to make their point, the information is applicable to all areas of business. A must read for those who are concerned with the acquisition of information and the management of corporate knowledge.

Insightful, provocative view of the securities industry
Excellent book that describes the fundamental structure of the securities industry then overlays practical (and readily observable) elements of intellectual property/capital. One of the few intellectual capital books I have ever read that includes detailed analysis on J.P. Morgan, one of the all-time titans of capital.Do not be turned off by the greek (mathematical) equations in the chapter about IPO allocations.
The authors have a very strong framework that holds up well in the real world, even in the post internet bubble world.
I especially enjoyed the chapter about the Goldman Sachs IPO and ECNs.
