Is there anyone the team sees as leading research into intangibles, human
relationship constructs such as trust, knowledge, social and intellectual

to make the best links to theory and practice both from the economist's

this takes on renewed urgency when a magazine like The Economist can write
such a superficial analysis of the practical economics of intangibles as the
cover story ProLogo 2 weeks ago
