  • Abstract
    In the information age we are caught in an information paradox. While we have easier access to significantly more information at substantially lower prices. We continue to lack knowledge about the implications of the evolving information society. For example, we have little knowledge about what consumers want, how much they will be prepared to pay, and what the implications will be for industrial structure and corporate organization. This article explains the information paradox and suggests how we might deal with it
