It reflects the move from managing physical assets to exploiting knowledge, technology and innovation; new models of learning; global, mobile communication and new delivery mechanisms with a focus on relationships. Introductory sections on management and strategic influences emphazise the importance of knowledge management skills, team working, corporate responsibility and customer satisfaction as a driver for change. A section on corporate governance has includes managing different forms of capital, and there is expanded coverage of investment, security, risk management and business continuity.
