- Information has been described as a key social and organizational
resource. How can this resource be managed effectively? In what
sense are organizations information processing systems? What
evidence is there that we are moving towards information-based
economies? What does the term 'information industry' signify?
Who are the information managers, what techniques do they use,
and what skills do they need? An international team of experts
distill their experience in this remarkably wide-ranging book;
they explore the conceptual, strategic and operational aspects
of information resource management in both industrialised and
developing nations, including the globalisation of the information
and communication industries, biomedical information systems,
value added and data services, applications of interactive videodisc
technology, information management in rural communities, industrial
research survey methods, and information management in the academic
environment. Their discussion of major policy issues serves to
highlight the best of thinking in this fast-developing field.
