The BRINT Institute is the New York based social enterprise with its primary focus on knowledge management and business technology management. It is internationally recognized for its contributions to the foundation and global dissemination of these two new technology management research and practice areas. Its mission since 1994 has focused on developing leading edge thinking and practice on contemporary business, technology, and knowledge management issues to facilitate organizational and individual performance, success, and fulfillment. BRINT (short for 'Business Research in Information and Technology') was originally conceived to bridge the gaps between business and technology, data and knowledge, and theory and practice as reported by June 1998 issue of Fortune.
United States Army Knowledge Symposium wrote about this social enterprise that: "If you spend some time at BRINT founded by Dr Malhotra you will be blessed by some of the world's most astute thinking on the nature of knowledge and its value"[1]. Among early adopters and users of these Web ventures, many have written about it as a benchmark resource: some of them include Ellen M. Knapp, Vice Chairman & CKO, Coopers & Lybrand (in Fast Company magazine); Thomas H. Davenport, Partner and Director, Andersen Consulting Institute for Strategic Change (in Accenture's Outlook magazine and one of his published books); and Thomas A. Stewart, Fortune Board of Directors and Author of Intellectual Capital (in his Web site he created for research sources used for writing Intellectual Capital). These Web-based knowledge creating ventures received a number of awards and top rankings as well as editorial recommendations and reviews from entities, organizations, and institutions such as Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), American Society for Training and Development (ASTD), American Library Association (ALA), Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Anbar Intelligence first 5-Star Strategy Web Site Award, Business Week, CIO Enterprise, Fast Company, Fortune, Wall Street Journal, Information Week, KM World, Harvard Business School, Kellogg School of Management, MIT $50K Entrepreneurship Competition, Stanford University, and Wharton School. Recently, this social enterprise founded by Dr. Yogesh Malhotra in course of his Ph.D. fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh during early 1990s was indexed in the ISI Web of Knowledge (Thomson Scientific) by honor of invitation.
