Overview

We are accustomed to thinking of our organizations in terms of the three key resources of traditional economics: those of people, money and physical resources. However, there is growing recognition that information has now taken a place as the fourth resource, ranking equally with the other three in importance. This book looks, therefore, at the relationship between information and its management, and business process and strategy; and highlights the areas where appropriate policies can have significant impact on organizational performance.

Invites managers to consider information as important to the success of a business as the traditional resources of people, money, and physical resources. Discusses the links between business process and information management, how to value information, qualities needed by an information manager, process modeling, the potential and problems that have been and are being encountered, and the US experience as an alternative to the British perspective.
