Social scientists are demanding more analytic studies of social survey data in order to examine a variety of emerging issues. Answering this need, Analyzing Complex Survey Data offers an effective means of examining and analyzing complex surveys -- and how to overcome problems that often arise. It includes discussions on the choices involved in variance estimates, simple random sampling without replacement, stratified random sampling and two-stage cluster sampling, and outlines the different computer programs that are currently available.

It is now widely recognized that the effective management of knowledge assets is a key requirement for securing competitive advantage in the emerging information economy. Yet the physical and institutional differences between tangible assets and knowledge assets remains poorly understood. If we are to meet the challenges of the information economy, then we need a new approach to property rights based on a deeper theoretical understanding of knowledge assets. This clear, accessible study provides someof the key building blocks needed for a theory of knowledge assets. Boisot develops a powerful conceptual framework--the Information-Space or I-Space--for exploring the way knowledge flows within and between organizations. This framework will enable managers and students to explore and understand how knowledge and information assets differ from physical assets, and how to deal with them at a strategic level within their organizations.
