Zusatztext Popular business writers often discuss the knowledge-based economy and the intelligent enterprise. However, few explore how this paradigm impacts people's careers. Arthur, Khapova, and Richardson provide a workbook for today's knowledge workers seeking to take a composite, dynamic view of their career. These career experts urge workers to take charge of their own careers, assess their cognitive and problem-solving skills, and develop their intellectual assets. Armed with this understanding, people can recognize and act on new career opportunities and dynamic work environments...Knowing how to realistically navigate today's work environment replaces the former benign loyalty and dependence on a single employer. These writers have developed an insightful and practical approach for reassessing careers in today's world of work. They also inform employers on how to support intelligent careers.
