Information management is a special area of ​​management that has emerged as an independent direction in recent years and is increasingly acquiring specific features.

In a broad sense, the sphere of information management is a set of all management tasks at all stages of the life cycle of an enterprise, including all actions and operations associated with information in all its forms and states, and with the enterprise as a whole based on this information. At the same time, the tasks of determining the value and efficiency of using not only the information itself (data and knowledge), but also other resources of the enterprise, in one way or another coming into contact with information: technological, personnel, financial, etc., should be solved.

In a narrow sense, information management is a range of management tasks, primarily of a production and technological nature, the solution of which ensures the achievement of the organization's goals in its main activity through effective coordinated management of both elements, processes and resources of the information system itself, and other elements, processes and enterprise resources. In these management tasks, information systems and information technologies implemented in it are used to one degree or another.

Today, the most common means of access to information resources are computer networks, and the most progressive way to obtain information is the online mode (online - interactive, interactive mode). It provides an opportunity for a user, having entered a computer network, to gain access to a "large computer" (Host - a computer, host) and its information resources in a direct dialogue mode, implemented in real time.

Users of this kind include both end consumers of information and intermediate ones who provide services to their clients in solving information problems (special information centers with access to several online systems, or professional specialists engaged in paid information services for clients, information consumers).

The online information services market includes the following main segments:

Computerized reservation systems and financial information services;

Databases (DB) targeted at the mass consumer;

Professional databases.

Among the databases, the following types are usually distinguished:

Text (full-text, abstract, bibliographic, dictionaries);

Numeric and tabular databases;

Bulletin boards.

Information producers include both organizations that extract and publish information (news agencies, the media, editorial offices of newspapers and magazines, publishers, patent offices), and organizations that have been professionally involved in its processing for many years (selection of information, indexing, uploading to databases in the form of full texts, short abstracts, etc.).
Among the most famous foreign companies that process and publish information, there are:

DUN & BRADSTREET (D&B) - publishes reference data on more than 50 million companies around the world (has its own online service);

INVESTEXT GROUP is a division of the world famous Thomson Corporation. Provides deep analytical reports virtually across all market segments in various countries and regions;

DERWENT - provides unique information on patents in 41 countries, obtained directly from the patent offices of these countries, information on scientific research and commercial applications of scientific developments (it does not have its own online service);

IAC (Information Access Company) - market and technology overview (Predicast). Abstracts over 1500 periodicals published in 100 countries. This information is translated into English and placed in databases (has its own online service);

INSPEC is a publication by an organization called the Institute of Electrical Engineers. Contains more than 5 million records (abstracts) on all areas of physics, electronics, control systems and information technology;
AFR (AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE) - news agency, supplier of business and political news.

Management activity is a set of actions of the management of the enterprise and other employees of the management apparatus in relation to the object of management - the work collective or the production system. These actions consist in the development of some managerial decision, which is, in fact, a product of managerial labor, and communicating this decision to the performers, followed by clarification of the results of its implementation.

Introduction

The main direction of restructuring management and its radical improvement, adaptation to modern conditions has become the massive use of the latest computer and telecommunications technology, the formation of highly effective information and management technologies on its basis. Means and methods of applied informatics are used in management and marketing. New technologies based on computer technology require radical changes in the organizational structures of management, its regulations, human resources, the system of documentation, recording and transfer of information. Of particular importance is the introduction of information management, which significantly expands the opportunities for companies to use information resources. The development of information management is associated with the organization of a data and knowledge processing system, their consistent development to the level of integrated automated control systems, covering all levels and links of production and sales vertically and horizontally.

In modern conditions, effective management is a valuable resource of an organization, along with financial, material, human and other resources. Consequently, increasing the efficiency of management activities is becoming one of the areas of improving the activities of the enterprise as a whole. The most obvious way to increase the efficiency of the labor process is to automate it. But what is really, say, for a strictly formalized production process, is by no means so obvious for such an elegant sphere as management. Difficulties arising in solving the problem of automated support for managerial work are associated with its specifics. Managerial work is notable for its complexity and diversity, the presence of a large number of forms and types, multilateral connections with various phenomena and processes. This is, first of all, creative and intellectual work. At first glance, most of it defies any formalization at all. Therefore, the automation of management activities was initially associated only with the automation of some auxiliary, routine operations. But the rapid development of information computer technologies, the improvement of the technical platform and the emergence of fundamentally new classes of software products have led today to a change in approaches to the automation of production management.

Management activities - This is a set of actions of the management of the enterprise and other employees of the management apparatus in relation to the object of management - the work collective or the production system. These actions consist in the development of some managerial decision, which is, in fact, a product of managerial labor, and communicating this decision to the performers, followed by clarification of the results of its implementation.

According to the definition adopted by UNESCO, information technology (hereinafter referred to as IT) is a complex of interrelated scientific, technological, engineering disciplines that study methods of effective organization of the work of people involved in the processing and storage of information; computing technology and methods of organizing and interacting with people and production equipment, their practical applications, as well as related social, economic and cultural problems. Information technologies themselves require complex training, high initial costs and high technology.

According to the American management specialist G. Poppel, under information technology (IT) should be understood as the use of computers and communication systems for the creation, collection, transmission, storage, processing of information for all spheres of public life.

1. Information technology and enterprise management

Today, the state of affairs in the area under consideration is characterized by extreme uncertainty. Firstly, this is due to the continuous increase in volume technological proposals that require high investments, and, accordingly, with an increase in dependence on external services(for example, from software vendors). In-house IT spending is growing at a faster pace than other enterprise costs. At the same time, top management has little knowledge of overall IT costs. For example, competent corporate management decisions cover only about 5% of the corresponding costs.

Second, the role of IT in the business of many enterprises is changing. When performing in-house processes, the IT function has ceased to be auxiliary, having become the most important part of the product or production facilities. Business risks are currently largely determined by the risks in this area. The implementation of modern high-performance organizational projects (for example, "virtual organizations" without rigid binding of production sites to a specific location) requires the full use of the potential of IT using telecommunications.

Rapid growth in IT costs is not helping to stabilize. To control their increase and gain more flexibility in solving information technology problems, many enterprises go mainly two ways. The first is that the firm creates in-house information technology area, which also offers services to the off-brand market, thus proving the possibility of cost-effective use of its capacities.

More often, enterprises choose a different path, when most of their own IT staff is transferred to the disposal of newly created subsidiaries or joint ventures with specialized information technology partners, also independently acting on the market. A small group of employees remains at the parent company, which is entrusted with information management functions.

Top management begins to realize what an important impact information technology solutions have on the business process itself and the culture of the enterprise. Therefore, he feels more and more disadvantaged in the sense that he is forced to delegate the relevant issues to internal departments or external organizations... In addition, the first experience in the work of out-of-company information technology services does not give any particular reason for optimism about the effectiveness of solving these problems. This raises the following key questions:

• how does it feel attitude leading personnel to IT, what are the consequences of its more efficient organization and use in the production of new goods and services;
• what should know the senior management of the firm in the IT field to make informed decisions, in particular with regard to investments;
• to what extent is it acceptable delegation functions in the field of IT;
• what should be role top management in the management of information technology potential.

There are six stakeholder groups on which IT decision-making depends:

• top management which should manage IT as the strategic potential of the enterprise;
• specialists looking for system solutions to optimize special functional tasks;
• managers of individual business units who must use IT by virtue of the logic of their business activities in order to satisfy customer needs, reduce costs, etc .;
• accounting service managers, if such are provided by the organizational structure of the enterprise:
• IT providers that must offer services in strict accordance with the problematic attitudes of their consumers;
• own IT department.

In many enterprises, such interest groups are not recognized. Top management often delegates the relevant functions to a group of leaders, overseeing the implementation of several specified indicators. The conscious refusal of top management from their duties leads to the adoption of incompetent decisions, the setting of unrealistic planned tasks. There is also no proper motivation in this area.

Due to the growing importance of IT in ensuring the success of the firm, such a policy is unacceptable. Company-wide management must now find answers to the following two questions.

First, you need to determine exactly which contribution must bring IT into the production of goods and services. Three main aspects deserve attention here: 1) IT as process support function, for example, in the field of communications or production automation, as well as in the generation and transfer of managerial knowledge and information for the management of business operations; 2) IT like integral part of the product; 3) IT how organizational tool to create virtual forms of the enterprise.

Secondly, who should perform the listed and other functions... The issue of a coordination mechanism for certain types of information technology services is highlighted. The solution can be found in the use of the above-mentioned specialized in-house divisions and out-of-company branches. An intermediate solution in the form of creation is also possible. strategic alliances between our own division and external partners. In the last two cases, the enterprise loses direct control over its information technology capabilities. It should be noted that such services can only be effective in close cooperation with their suppliers. Corporate management must look for ways to eliminate or compensate for weaknesses in their work.

The considered changes in the requirements for interest groups in the field of IT are due to the dynamics of the development of enterprises and the external environment. The main aspects of this development and their impact on the role of IT in enterprise management are as follows.

Decentralization and growth of information needs

The focus on customer proximity required businesses to move towards horizontal, decentralized structures. Decision-making in the context of decentralization has led to a sharp increase in the need for information regarding the process of producing goods and services. There was a need for a more detailed acquaintance of the third party with the state of affairs in the relevant economic areas. In the new environment, the provision of information in all areas must function flawlessly.

The use of IT is designed to level the organizational complexity of the enterprise. Previously, this was achieved through the imposition of complex calculations and processing of documents in very large volumes on computers. Now the point is that the constantly increasing complexity of horizontal and vertical interconnection models (the structures of which, in turn, are constantly changing) are improved with the help of new communication technology.

Previously, enterprises installed powerful processing systems that prepared a huge number of digital reports, on the basis of which the management of economic activities was subsequently carried out. Now the question is about how to develop such a technology, with the help of which it would be possible to constantly keep abreast of the events of managers and their partners who make decisions in the context of decentralization. New information technology systems should not provide some kind of abstract economic system, but concrete partners who participate in the economic process in various forms.

From data processing through information systems to knowledge management

The need to view IT as a data processing tool has long since disappeared. With the help of this technology, it is necessary to extract information from the data for the needs of the user, and the problem of "information overload" arising in this connection requires massive means of selection, further processing and updating of information. At the same time, consideration should be given to the issue of commercially viable interfaces and compression of internal and external information, as well as the transfer of shared knowledge between organizational units and cooperation partners.

The rapid development of networks of local systems with a super-regional and even international structure leads to the abandonment of the classical working fields of informatics and the widespread involvement of telecommunications. Organizationally, this leads to the elimination of the boundaries of the enterprise. It becomes more and more difficult to determine where it begins and where it ends. The creation and operation of an appropriate communication structure for such "virtual enterprises" are related to information management tasks, as is the classical function of supporting a production process or developing IT-based goods and services. In this case, the point is not only in the processing of information, but also rational distribution of knowledge.

Introduction

The development of any human society requires material, instrumental, energy and information resources. The present time is a period characterized by an unprecedented growth in the volume of information flows. This applies to both the economy and the social sphere. Information is a decisive factor in determining the development of technology and resources in general. Market relations place increased demands on timeliness, reliability, completeness of information, without which effective marketing, financial, credit, and investment activities are inconceivable.

For completeness of the disclosure of the topic, it is necessary to give several definitions:

Information- information about persons, objects, facts, events, phenomena and processes, regardless of the form of their presentation.

Informatization- an organized socio-economic, scientific and technical process of creating optimal conditions for meeting information needs and realizing the rights of citizens, government bodies, local authorities, organizations, public associations based on the formation and use of information resources.

Informational resources- individual documents and separate arrays of documents, documents and arrays of documents in information systems.

Information system- an organizationally ordered set of documents, information technologies, including the use of computer technology and communication, implementing information processes.

User information- a subject who turns to an information system or an intermediary to obtain the information he needs.

The level of development of the information space decisively affects the economy, defense and politics. The behavior of people, the formation of social and political movements and social stability largely depend on this level. The goals of informatization all over the world, including in Russia, are the most complete satisfaction of the information needs of society in all spheres of activity.

Information and telecommunication systems operate mainly in the interests of state authorities. This state of affairs leads to duplication of work, redundancy in the collection of primary information, higher cost of development and operation of systems. In addition, departmental fragmentation makes it difficult to share and access information. Information services, resources and software products are distributed across the territory of Russia extremely unevenly, and they are mainly provided for the regional centers. This distribution corresponds to the distribution of the main scientific and information centers in Russia and does not take into account the needs of the population and government bodies. That is why the problem of equalizing the information potential requires a speedy solution.

The domestic information industry should develop taking into account the world achievements in the field of information technology and telecommunications exchange. This will enable Russia to reach the world level of technical development.

1. World information resources

1.1 Information needs of specialists

At the stage of fundamental research, the following information is required:

information about the latest achievements of science and technology;

information on the development trends of this type of technology;

information about patents;

firms' proposals;

information on the totality of development and production costs;

description of the technique of possible production;

characteristics of the period of obsolescence of equipment objects;

information about raw materials and equipment.

At the stage of applied research, design development and technological development, the following information is required:

information about new scientific and technical achievements and R&D;

data on manufacturing costs;

about materials;

about components, etc.

At the production stage, there is a selection, analysis, implementation of scientific and technical documentation and an assessment of technical conditions, which requires information on world, regional, national, industry classification and estimated indicators.

At the stages of operation, modernization, disposal, market and market information is needed.

In parallel with the innovation cycle, a set of measures is carried out to "protect" the product, consisting of two blocks, each of which has the goal of:

legal protection of industrial and intellectual property created by the manufacturer and in the process of selling the component "product". Here you need information about the patent situation, about the implementation of patenting, licensing, examination; on the feasibility of acquiring licenses and know-how from other firms; on the possibility of commercial use of intellectual products of the innovation cycle: patents of inventions, schematic diagrams, publications, product models, samples, drawing and design documentation, technological samples, technological documentation, operational documentation, recycling technology). The latter, as the American experience shows, can give up to 80% of the cost of implementing the entire innovative project as a whole;

protection of information (organizational, managerial, economic, scientific and technical, etc.) from its unauthorized use. Information is required on the means of protecting and protecting premises, etc.

1.2 Types of information

Analyzing the complete list of information needs in the implementation of the innovation cycle, the following types of information can be identified (Table 1):

The effective functioning of a company depends on many factors. One of these important factors, is the information resources of the company. To solve problems within the company, prompt, reliable information is required. Such information within the organization must move and penetrate those levels of the organizational system to which it is required. Today, one of the factors in the growth and development of an organizational system is how high-quality and reliable information this organization has. We live in the information age, and the importance of information can hardly be overestimated. At present, the level of development of information processes has increased so much that information resources have acquired their own orthosol, which subsequently led to the creation of an entire information industry.

Communication processes are the way information flows in an organizational system. The effectiveness of communication networks in an organization depends on the information itself, which shows the relationship between these two processes. Each organization has its own communication channels that provide information about the organization's environment. The task of such departments is not only to establish the flow of information, but also to assess the quality, decoding, selection of information that is important for the activities of the organizational system.

An effective manager must be provided with all the information he needs. The goal of a manager's work is to solve problems, but without providing reliable, high-quality information, it is impossible to plan correctly, formulate a managerial decision. In other words, without the necessary information, it is impossible to engage in management activities.

Properties of information. Information itself is information, facts about something. Management information is a set of such information and facts that a manager can use to achieve certain tasks and formulate management decisions.

Any information, including management information, is divided into objective and subjective. Objective information is information that does not depend on the statement and opinion of an individual or persons, but is considered generally accepted. Subjective information, on the contrary, contains the opinion of one individual and is personal in nature.

Information characteristics.

• · Volume. The most important quantitative characteristic of information that makes it clear how much information has been received / will be sent. It is important to understand that an insufficient amount of information can create ambiguity, distortion of the message. Too much information can lead to information overloads; also, a large amount of information is absorbed worse than a smaller amount.
• · Credibility. This information property shows how the received message matches the sent one. The need to determine the reliability of information arises from the possibility of error, distortion of information during its transmission. Any organizational system seeks to obtain as reliable information as possible, using tools for improving information channels to achieve maximum reliability.
• · Saturation. The essence of this property is to determine the ratio of mediocre and important, useful information. In transmitted messages, mediocre background information is used for better, correct perception of basic information. Saturation, in turn, has three levels: 1. High level(up to 100%), such information is extremely informative, but not structured and difficult to understand. 2. Normal(from 50 to 70-80%) the optimal level of saturation, such information is meaningful and easily perceived by the recipient. 3. Low level saturation (up to 50%), such information actually has no meaningful component, the value of such information is extremely small.
• · Value. It is a quantitative characteristic of information that determines the meaning of the information to the recipient. This property of information largely depends on the previous characteristics, in particular on the richness and reliability. No matter how important and necessary the information is for the sender, it must also be meaningful and reliable.
• · Openness. This characteristic shows the range of persons who can use, receive specific information. It is essential for an organization to establish a framework for openness of information. On the one hand, all information cannot be published, but it is also not worth hiding all information processes. The task of an effective information department is to select indicative information for general publication.

There are 3 levels of openness. Secret, extremely limited in use information (accessible to an extremely small circle of people). Confidential, limited in use by regulations, powers (more accessible information, but within a separate structure). Open information available to everyone who wants to get it.

• · Profitability. This property means that the costs of using and preparing specific information should not exceed the effect of using the information.
• · Objectivity. The information should not be personal or biased. The accuracy of the information must be generally recognized.
• · Accuracy. The sender must be sure that the message sent by him is not distorted, does not contain errors.

Methods for generating information. One of the main ways of obtaining information is the process of communication, interaction. Both within the organization and in external environment, information can come both in the process of communication, exchange, and in the form of messages. Also, the exchange of information, mutual enrichment of information is separately distinguished. But to generate the necessary information, there are also other ways.

Introspection. This method is a selection of information already available from a particular person. This information earlier can be obtained as a result of training, obtaining a specialty, qualification, as well as under the influence of life experience and other acquired knowledge. This method of obtaining information is effective in making decisions. The knowledge gained through education and experience has a wide range of applications, and can have a beneficial effect on the effectiveness of developing a management solution.

Messages. Informational messages are a collection of information elements that have an internal relationship. One of the main ways of obtaining information in the process of communication. The information in the message must be accurate, symbolic, and specific. An informational message can be transmitted in writing and orally, as well as in various non-verbal ways.

Analysis. Unlike introspection, analysis is a way of highlighting information through the use of quantitative models, research. This is a specially modulated situation, on the basis of the work of which conclusions are drawn. Such conclusions contain the required information.

Information can circulate, both in the organization and outside it, but relative to the organization itself. Depending on the source of highlighting information, it can be divided into internal and external.

Internal environment. It includes all elements directly related to the organization. The effectiveness and potential of an organization largely depends on how well the internal environment is organized.

Information processes in the internal environment are important, as they contain reporting on the activities of the organization. Most often, information about the internal process in the organization is hidden, and is not available for general use, since it contains strategically - economic indicators activities of the organization. As a consequence, the communication channels for such information must be structured and it is necessary to clearly regulate to whom and how such information will be provided.

External environment. These are factors, subjects that influence the organization, but are outside of it. Isolating information in this environment of an organization is just as important as it is in an internal environment. Information from the external environment is often inaccurate and unstable. An understanding of how the enterprise functions from the outside, and the identification of factors influencing the organization, significantly increases the efficiency of planning. Information in this environment may contain information about competitors, about the market, interaction with the state. It is extremely important for the information departments of the organization to establish the flow of information from the external environment. Such information should meet all the requirements and requests of the organization, not be distorted, since such information is most often used in strategic planning and for solving important management tasks.

Information management. This type of activity is aimed at monitoring and managing information resources and flows in the organization and in the external environment of the organization. The main goal of information management is to provide the organization with the necessary and important information for it, as well as control all information processes, protect information from external threats, regulate the confidentiality of information, distribute information as needed, delegate authority to use specific information required for solving a specific problem. Also, one of the most important goals and objectives of information management is the creation information space of the organization. is a collection of all information that relates to an organization. Such information should be in an orderly state.

One of the main tasks of information management is the accumulation and preservation of those arrays of information that accumulate in the course of the organization's work. This collection of information is called information resources.

Informational resources is a collection of separate arrays of information, which are contained in a documented form, has an orderly and streamlined search system. Since information does not exist by itself, it must have a form, content. The totality of such information resources, and the provision of interconnection, interaction, and forms the information environment of the organization.

Information Systems. Information systems are a set of methods, models, projects, various technologies that are designed to work with information. The presence of such a system in an organization makes it possible to more effectively cope with planning (both tactical and strategic), various accounting operations. Most of these tasks are solved by reprocessing operational management information.

The presence of an information system in an organization stimulates:

• · Increasing the degree of validity of the decisions made. Availability of reliable information about environment, which can be easily found, and which can be easily worked with, significantly increases both the efficiency of decision-making and the quality of the decision made.
• · Accounting and operational collection of information, its processing and transmission efficiency. The better the ordered and structured information system is, the better the process of its search, transmission, processing and other types of interaction occurs.
• · Ensuring the timely adoption of management decisions in the realities of the market economy. The organization of communication channels, which subsequently form information systems, provide a faster movement of information in the organization. The need to make timely important management decisions requires providing a specific element of the organization with reliable, valuable, holistic information. Also, such information should come without delay and distortion.
• · Restriction, ensuring the confidentiality of information. With the correct organization of information processes in an organization, information leakage options are excluded.

Information protection methods. For a large and successful organization, information is a strategically important resource. Naturally, not all information is so valuable, but various strategic information, financial, accounting reports, are usually hidden and classified. Thus, there is a need to protect such information, both from getting it into an outside communication channel, and from persons for whom it is not intended. Information does not exist by itself, it is assigned to its carrier, be it physical, electronic, or information possessed by a separate individual.

For effective protection of information, it should be structured, an inventory of available information resources should be carried out. Thus, each organization will determine what information they should protect. More often than not, organizations try to hide information. HR departments, accounting (required by law), trade secrets, analytical information, information about technologies, production, results of scientific research.

Very often, information security in organizations is not taken as seriously as it should be. Employees involved in communication processes in the organization are most often employees, so the provision of full-time workers in such positions is not provided for by the budget. This becomes the main reason for information leakage, the formation of unnecessary, unnecessary communication channels.

To avoid leaks, declassify information, today, three basic principles of information protection are provided:

• 1. Data integrity. The information that is stored in the organization, and is of great value, must be stored in an integral, complete volume. Problems arise with information on physical media: some of the information stored in this way is very often lost.
• 2. Confidentiality of information. The information stored in the organization must have a confidentiality regulation. It is extremely ineffective, and it is not correct to open access to all information to any employee. This often leads to information leakage or distortion when it gets into informal communication channels.
• 3. Protection against failures that lead to loss of information. One of the most common ways of storing information is electronic. It means storing information on the servers of an organization. Given this, you should protect important information from its loss as a result of hacking, failures, incorrect operation of such servers.
• 4. Access to information for authorized employees. The problem of confidentiality, and information getting into unwanted communication channels, can also be solved by creating electronic databases of information. But when storing information in this way, you should delimit access to it. For this, it is necessary to register employees in the database, and, depending on the needs and powers of specific employees, provide information.

The widespread use of computer technology has only exacerbated the problem of protecting and storing information. It is extremely convenient to store information in electronic form, but very often additional difficulties arise in the form of deliberate theft of such information. As mentioned above, information is a strategic resource of any organization, and storing it in electronic form creates very comfortable conditions for working with such information. But the storage of information on electronic media has a number of specific properties.

Each organization must have comprehensive information security measures. Basically, there are technical and organizational measures to protect information. Technical measures to protect information include various forms of protection against unauthorized access to confidential information, hacking of electronic databases, measures to eliminate unwanted communication channels. Organizational methods of protecting information include: careful selection of personnel responsible for working with important information, if possible, excluding important work with information individual workers, organizing a backup recovery plan for electronic databases, means of protecting against unauthorized access to important information (even for top management).

Protection of documented information. One of the most basic and the most established way of storing information is documents. The main task in the protection of documented information is to ensure a safe, secure document flow. For this, a special technological system is required when working with information. Protected document flow is the safe movement of documented confidential information through various communication channels, and points of receipt, consideration, use of information. The general principles for effectively protecting document circulation are to restrict access to such information, responsibility for issuing such information, responsibility for the safety of documented information, strict regulation of access to information.
