Eight examples of the application of knowledge management and intellectual capital principles are described in the case histories presented in this book. These case histories have been chosen by a panel of international experts from 70 case histories submitted to a competition for the Knowledge Management and Intellectual Capital Excellence Awards conducted by Academic Conferences and Publishing International.

The authors of these eight examples have been short listed and invited to present their case history at the 16th annual European Conference on Knowledge Management (ECKM) held at the University of Udine in the region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia (near Venice), Italy in September 2015.

The best three case studies will be awarded a prize at the conference.
