Let's integrate - information services, content, technologies and collaboration: The Business Information Survey 2012

摘要

This is the 22nd year of the Business Information Survey, the longest continuous survey of the delivery and use of business information services and sources in the UK. Even with a continuing crisis in the eurozone, frightening levels of unemployment in Europe and the USA, and a slowdown in Asian growth, our respondents this year, report a less than bleak picture for their companies and information/ research services. There is a good deal of positive thinking as information and knowledge managers seek both to add value to their businesses as well as managing costs assidu ously. After saying that, however, there are one or two small voices of alarm about the future of traditional models of corporate information services.
