Abstract

Purpose The paper aims to demonstrate the usefulness of the intellectual bandwidth model (IB model) and expand its basic foundation to the bioscience industry. Design/methodology/approach A case study of a real work example from the bioscience industry is presented. Findings The study discusses an enduser information system and reveals that the information assimilation dimension can be meaningfully extended, adding automated utilization and implementation. Research limitations/implications The vertical research approach does not provide certainty that the case is truly representative. Practical implications Practical implications of the study include having a useful management tool to plan solutions for complex business problems and investment decisions. Originality/value The extension of the IB model is useful to practitioners and organizations seeking to manage scientific networks in knowledgeintensive and complex collaborative environments. © 2009, Emerald Group Publishing Limited
