"In "Making Sense of Intellectual Capital", Dr Andriessen has produced one of the most synthesising books on this important but challenging topic. This book provides a very
valuable overview and evaluation of the managerial tools available to managers when it comes to better managing their intangible assets. I highly recommend this book to any manger of a firm that is charged with extracting value from its intangibles." -- Goran Roos
"I strongly believe, that Making sense of Intellectual Capital will be the
compass for the intellectual academic community and the comprehensive guide for the practitioners that consider intangibles as the main resources to
manage in the context of the knowledge economy.
Andriessen is a perfect blend of an academic and a practitioner. As an academic he scientifically evaluates the 25 existing methods for managing
and measuring intangibles. As a practitioner he also offers in his book his own method for valuing intangibles together with some useful practical
applications. Excellent. The book really makes sense in the emerging field of intellectual
capital, where converge many different contributions of innequal quality and relevance. Andriessen has done a great job that will please both academics and practitioners. This is an inspiring book, mainly of academic nature but with very practical and powerful messages to improve the value of businesses. Andriessen really challenges the Intellectual Capital conventional wisdom with new approaches and contributions."
-- José Maria Viedma
"In theory, practice and theory are the same; but in practice, they ain't". Daniel Andriessen deftly walks that fine line between theory and practice. His book is academic enough to provide a fundamental contribution to the science and understanding of the valuation of intangibles. Yet it remains practical enough, with its candor and honesty, to allow for effective implementation of his methods and ideas, manifested in his Weightless Wealth Tool kit. It demonstrates that measurement is not enough, that valuation is paramount in leveraging intangibles for strategic benefit. MAKING SENSE OF INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL is important reading for anyone who considers their intellectual capital to be strategic to their business."
