The notion of information is multifaceted. According to the case,
it is a simple signal or already knowledge. lt responds to codes
and is inscribed into a social relationship. There are clearly many
perspectives which the social sciences can take to analyse the
notion of information. The economy cannot account for the majority
of situations where, in the activities of production, consumption
or exchange, the notion of information finds itself implied,
although each school of thought has its own understanding of the
notion of information. This book takes this observation as a
starting point and goes on to clarify a contemporary debate on the
economy of information which remains quite vague, making use of the
ways in which different theoretical approaches deal with
information. To seize the nature and scope of the transformations
in our societies, a consequence of our new ways of handling,
stocking and circulating information in the workings of the markets
like Organisations, such a theoretical exercise seems useful. The
organisation of the book results from this choice. The
contributions gathered in one part deal with the role of
information in the functioning of the markets, those featuring in
another are more interested in the organisations. To favour an
enriching cross-reading of approaches developed in the two sections
already referred to, we have preceded these with a section
gathering approaches (which are more transversal) developing
different theories of information (according to perspectives which
are, respectively, systematic, statistical or strategic).
