On this page:   Books by Verna Allee Value Networks Intangibles Knowledge Management Interviews & Articles about Verna Allee	“Today’s business relationships encompass much more than the tangible flows of products, services, and revenue that we have  focused on in the past. As we come to depend more and more on exchanges of knowledge and other intangibles with our customers and business partners, success depends on building a rich web of value creating relationships. New approaches and methods are needed to understand the reality of value creation.” Verna Allee (2000)
