Conceived as a follow-up to the innovative and bestselling Edison in the Boardroom (focusing on intellectual property), Galileo in the Boardroom takes the successful concept one step further to focus on the commercialization of intellectual capital (human capital, intellectual assets, and intellectual property). Using an asset-value hierarchy of best practices, this practical book offers dozens of real-world case studies illustrating how leading companies such as DuPont, Ford, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Procter & Gamble, and many more are implementing the strategy introduced in their companies and are now taking it to the next level.
