Knowledge Can Be a Hard Thing to Keep Secret

Abstract

The global markets are becoming increasingly competitive, making the critical knowledge within a company's business of even greater competitive advantage and one that needs pro-active protection. With competitors becoming more willing and capable of gathering senszzitive knowledge, its safeguard is an even higher priority into the future. The differences in competitive capability in the future are likely to side with those companies that can find the right balance between protecting their own proprietary knowledge most effectively from their competitors, yet share it sufficiently within the business to create optimum value among its employees. This is a key challenge for companies in the future.
