Knowledge management in software engineering

Software organizations’ main assets are not plants, buildings, or
\nexpensive machines. A software organization’s main asset is its intellectual
\ncapital, as it is in sectors such as consulting, law, investment
\nbanking, and advertising. The major problem with intellectual
\ncapital is that it has legs and walks home every day. At the same rate
\nexperience walks out the door, inexperience walks in the door. Whether or
\nnot many software organizations admit it, they face the challenge of sustaining the level of competence needed to
\nwin contracts and fulfill undertakings.
