Considering the absolute key role that information plays in life in general and in business specifically, there is clearly a need to take control of the management of information in a business to ensure the ultimate success of that business. This book will be useful to students and managers who are currently involved in or learning about handling information in an office or business environment.
The aim of the book is to provide a context in the minds of readers as to where information fits in a business and what the key considerations are when it comes to information. In the course of six chapters this book sets out how information and communication technologies can support information, how information can be linked together through information systems, how the Internet and the Web support the dissemination of information, and how to best manage information and information systems.
This book should equip you to better understand the flow, role and importance of information in your current or future business or what you can do to improve information management in a business. The book is easy to read and concise enough to bring together all the key considerations relating to information, management and business. I hope you enjoy it and learn from it. The world of information is an exciting one, and one that will open up many new career opportunities for you.
