Since 1994, Reuters has conducted three studies into issues of information in the business world. The first, ''To Know or not to know: the politics of information'', revealed that despite the profileration of office technology, we are still a race of information misers. The second, ''Information as an asset: the invisible goldmine'', showed how companies failed to realise the value of information.

This paper examines the findings and implications of the this research.
