Business Information Management
Improving Performance Using Information Systems
Information. Technology. Both resources are increasingly important as
organisations seek to improve their performance.
Applying information and technology can offer new ways to do business, increase
the efficiency of business processes, reduce costs, and provide the performance measures
used to control improvement.
- Can business information management improve organisational performance?
- What are the key issues faced by managers today in terms of managing
business information?
- How can 'big picture' strategy be developed, implemented and managed?
This textbook takes a problem-solving approach, highlighting the issues faced
by managers in identifying, capturing and systematising information in order to improve
organisational performance. Now in its second edition, Business Information Management
helps students to understand how to improve organisational performance by exploring these
issues, and examines solutions to reduce problems. Unique in its multi-stakeholder
perspective, this book addresses challenges faced by not only the end-user but also the
general manager, IT manager and company director.
