Excerpt from The Economics of Information Technology Explaining the Productivity Paradox We suggested earlier that resource sharing is achieved by division that is, by dividing the resource into parts (these being sub-divisions in space or time) and then associating each part with some determinate use. This 'association requires an act of information, or a logical coupling (and, subsequently, decoupling) of two or more discrete entities. To achieve this, the entities (a part of a resource, and its associated use) must each ...

Excerpt from The Economics of Information Technology Explaining the Productivity Paradox We suggested earlier that resource sharing is achieved by division that is, by dividing the resource into parts (these being sub-divisions in space or time) and then associating each part with some determinate use. This 'association requires an act of information, or a logical coupling (and, subsequently, decoupling) of two or more discrete entities. To achieve this, the entities (a part of a resource, and its associated use) must each be represented in logical form, as must be the nature of their association its duration, cost or limitations). Each logical form, in turn, must be distinct (since the parts and uses are discrete), leading ultimately to the idea that the extent of resource sharing will be limited by (1) the supply of distinct logical forms, and (2) the cost of their coupling and decoupling.
