&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;An &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;interest group&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; advocates a shift in policy for reasons that is very directly related to its own economic or social interests, i.e. favourable to its own members.  Unlike a [[lobby group]] they admit their direct interest in gaining from the policy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We expect that [[Research Wiki]] will be infested with such groups more or less from day one, and that a [[Consumerium Research pilot]] will have to deal with this up front.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Such groups are modelled as ordinary [[faction]]s within [[Consumerium Services]] so that they can easily develop joint [[institutional buying criteria]].&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
