If one doesn't differentiate information and
knowledge, there is no harness of information.

Taking an metaphore from science: theories
are maps of reality concerned with nature.
What it the analogy of this in business?
Business ideas are hypothetic maps of reality
concerned with artefacts. Business is iterative
testing these these ideas. Where is the difference
between information and knowledge, then?
