Part of the book series: Computer Supported Cooperative Work ((CSCW))

Abstract

Evans and Wurster (2000, p. 20) argue that while “information… may be the end product of only a minority of businesses,… it glues together value chains, supply chains, consumer franchises, and organisations across the entire economy. And it accounts for a grossly disproportionate share of competitive advantage and therefore of profits” (emphasis in original). It clearly makes good sense for all businesses to take information, and knowledge, seriously.
