    Abstract
    This paper is based on a literature review and small-scale empirical study, investigating the role of external information in the strategic management of UK retail banks. The highly competitive nature of the banking world makes it necessary for institutions to gain an understanding of their environment, and thus the way in which they organise and use information is of crucial importance. The research explored the organisational role of departments concerned with environmental analysis, the character of business environment analysis and the nature of the information used. It suggested that the way in which information is collected and analysed to make strategic decisions appears directly linked to organisational structure and particularly to the extent of decentralisation. Such structure differ noticeably and it is unclear how far business units are involved with both environmental analysis and the supply of information to the centre

    Abstract
    Considers the conceptual problems of information and knowledge in the context of 20th century economic theories. Whilst information as a commodity tends to be too complex to be articulated within neoclassical economic models, such models still provide the framework for economic arguments. Of central importance is the idea of the market as a transmitter of information. Keynes' approach advocated government intervention to address the problem of market information failure and to return the economy to equilibrium. Conversely, the philosophical position of the New Right is that state intervention is unnecessary and that an unfettered market, closely tied to a 'spontaneous order' is both a suitable conveyor of information and provides a means for the fficient allocation of resources. Argues that, paradoxically, given the information problems inherent in economic theory, the free market requires an active and interventionist State to operate efficiently
