If you can deny people access to information they want, that may give you power.
Even knowing that you have the ability to say ‘no’ is power.
In IT, if you have access to electronic information, you can use this or control access to it. Your IT knowledge may be desired by others, which gives you power.
Culture is a great deal about shared social rules. Your culture may be social, with a requirement to share knowledge, which can reduce individual power but increase collective power. Culture may also be combative, with hoarding of information that may be used as power within conflict.
