|
The ultimate goal of this project is to 'create a coherent pan-European community of practice out of the fragmented academic and other interest groups currently working on issues relating to business intangibles'.
Throughout the lifetime of the project, the PRISM group is seeking to build a collaborative community of experts interested in addressing some of the issues surrounding the management and measurement of intangibles in the modern economy. PRISM is looking to build bridges to groups and individuals active in the field and with additive and complementary knowledge to offer.
PRISM has open links to the following projects and groups:
