Information is not taken seriously. Much is said about the
information age, the information economy, the information society,
and particularly about information technology, but little about
information itself. If these are important, then so is information.
But information is not as other goods: it has some peculiar
characteristics. It cannot be displayed for sale without giving it
away in the process. Sold, it goes to the buyer but still remains
with the seller. Buying entails expressing demand in ignorance for
buyers who do not know just what it is that they do not know. Such
characteristics have long been recognised by economists, but it is
not generally economists who have most to say about the importance
of information. This privilege is exercised by senior managers, who
speak passionately about knowledge-based, learning organizations;
by politicians and public servants, anxious to compensate with
policy and programme for the information failure of organization
and market; and by specialists in telecommunications and
information technology, bent on adding value to what they treat as
just a commodity. Information usually requires new information.
