The results are given of an investigation into the perception and use of information as a strategic resource for effective business performance and competitive advantage in the Scottish high performance textile industry. Case studies reveal that there are predominant patterns of information usage within the industry. There is a low level of appreciation of information as a strategic resource. The results confirm that there is a strong relationship between information activity and innovative practices. Current information needs of the industry in question are highlighted and recommendations are made on how these might be met.
