This easy-to-read article defines the three domains of information management (IM): strategic, analytical and operational activities. It explains the interrelation of the three and the importance of their harmonisation in an organization. The article is clearly divided into the three areas of discussion, making it simple for the user to scan the main features of each. It was written by an information management consultant, providing a practical perspective that is basic enough for those previously unfamiliar with IM theory. The article does not delve deeply into its subject matter, however, and may leave the reader requiring further research. It does not include references or a list of further readings.

This paper presents a technique that reportedly allows the information manager to identify critical information for making effective organisational decisions. Discovering this information, it is claimed, will result in more efficient knowledge management, and therefore lead to improved competitiveness and viability. The authors provide a useful review of the literature as they explore the topic, with the effective use of direct quotes. Case studies and a concise “conclusions” section serve to reinforce the concepts presented. The authors' primary aims are to emphasize the importance of information in the corporate environment and to educate about new techniques in information and knowledge processing. The paper is directed at professionals and business managers, although students will also find value in the practical application of information management principles. Back to Top |
