It's the perfect antidote to the fashionable hype swirling around this brave new world of information, networks, and commerce." -PAUL SAFFO, Institute for the Future NFORMATION GOODS-from movies and I music to software code and stock quotes- have supplanted indusuial goods as the key drivers of world markets. Confronted by this New Economy, many instinctively react by searching for a corresponding New Economics to guide their business decisions. Executives charged with rolling out cutting-edge software products or on-line versions of their magazines are tempted to abandon the classic lessons of economics, and rely instead on an ever changing roster of trends, buzzwords, and analogies that promise to guide Strategy in the information age. ot so fast, say authors Carl Shapiro and Hal R. Varian. In Information Rulesthey warn managers, "Ignore basic economic principles at your own risk. Technology changes. Economic laws do not." Under tanding these laws and their relevance to information goods is critical when fashioning today's successful competitive strategies. Information Rules introduces and explains the economic concepts needed to navigate the evolving nerwork economy. The firr book to distill the economic principles of information and networks into practical business strategies, Information Ruleswill help business leaders and policy makers-from executives in the entertainment, publishing, hardware, and software industries to lawyers, finance professionals, and writers-make intelligent decisions about their information assets.

Pricing 2 Information The Encyclopedia Britannica has been regarded as a classic reference work for more than two hundred years. And, as a classic, it has com- manded a premium price: a few years ago a hardback set of the thirty- two volumes of the Britannica cost $1,600. In 1992 Microsoft decided to get into the encyclopedia business. The company bought rights to Funk 6- Wagnalls, a second-tier encyclo- pedia that had been reduced to supermarket sales by the time of the purchase. Microsoft used the Funk 6- Wagnalls content to create a CD with some multimedia bells and whistles and a user friendly front end and sold it to end users for $49.95. Microsoft sold Encarta to computer original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) on even more attractive terms, and many computer manufacturers offered the CD as a freebie. -
