INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
1. INFORMATION MANAGEMENT - DEFINITIONS, TASKS, AND ROLES
Ing. Radim Dolák, Ph.D.

•Information management has its own definition, roles, and roles. Information management is a very
important area of management that deals with collecting, processing, managing and distributing
information to one or more users.
•Within businesses, the need for information from staff from different departments is increasing.
•This trend puts high demands on delivering correct, timely and necessary information also with
regard to access rights to information itself.

Goals of the chapter

csvukrs

•Information management is a relatively new concept, which, according to most reputable authors,
does not have a totally unambiguous definition, because there is no full consensus on what all
areas of activity mean this term.
•The ambiguous definition is also given by a certain ambiguity in terms of management and
information.
•Another reason is the permanent development of the understanding of the concept of information
management when different concepts are changed from mere managerial conception to the view that
information management also deals with data processing technologies, especially data mining etc.

•We can distinguish the three main stages of information management development. Each stage is not
only a tool but also a focus on certain activities.
•
•Stage 1 „Engineering efficiency"
•Stage 2 "Information Management as an Expression Tool for ICT
•Stage 3 "Applying Managerial Approaches"
•

•Stage 1 "engineering efficiency"
§the concept was introduced in 1966 by R. S. Taylor and colleagues in the framework of the
conference on issues of system concept and processing of engineering information and teaching,
§focus on economy of hard work,
§associated with ICT application for mass data processing.
•Stage 2 "Information Management as an Expression Tool for ICT Professionals
§the late 70s and 80s of the 20th century,
§the focus on the economy of IS / IT implementation and the orientation given to the automation of
the procedures,
§Information management is understood as a set of management recommendations for the construction
of IS / IT.

Information management - historical development

csvukrs

•The concept of information management is gradually changing. There are several definitions of the
current concept of information management. Below are some of them.
•
•For example, Vodáček and Rosický (1997) state the following definition: "Information management
can be defined as a transdisciplinary set of knowledge, methods, and recommendations of systemic
approaches of computer science that help to appropriately implement managerial thinking approaches
and negotiation to achieve the goals of the organization under consideration".

•
The difference between the earlier and current concepts

csvukrs

•From the point of view of today's concept, it is important that information management respects
the primary needs of the managerial perspective and, at the same time, also provides economically
with adequate information processes.
•
•"Information management is a conscious process that collects data that is used to support
decision-making and management processes at all levels of enterprise management." (Hinton, 2006)
•
•It should be remembered that for managers, IS / ICT applications are not the primary goals in
terms of information management. They are especially effective means of facilitating, streamlining
and above all improving their behavior and meeting their individualized information needs.
•
The difference between the earlier and current concepts

csvukrs

•Information management can be included in the company's management tasks, which deal with the
identification of internal and external communication problems.
•Within this concept, therefore, information management cannot be separated from the management
process. Working with information in businesses and organizations is one of the essential
organizational goals for which leadership must be responsible.
•Information management uses system approaches that provide methodological guidance not only for
problem-solving but rather enable a comprehensive way of dealing with other influences.
•
Definitions and tasks of information management

csvukrs

•Information management is a complex system that can not be judged only from the point of view of
data itself, but also from the point of view of those working with them. This is basically all
workers at all levels of the business, who often have specific needs and requests for access to
information. These specific information needs need to be taken into account in order to set up
enterprise information management correctly.
•
•Information management techniques are set up for information management. Appropriate forms of
communication are identified and identifying which information appears rational to achieve the
organization's goals.
Definitions and tasks of information management

csvukrs

•The role of information management lies briefly in activities such as organizing, searching,
retrieving, securing and maintaining information. Information management is closely related to
enterprise management and data management.
•For example, as Tvrdíková (2008) says, it is very desirable for companies and institutions to
employ information managers because their importance lies in ensuring the management of the process
of increasing the quality of IS and ICT in a given company or institution. It works with the top
management of the company, the head of the IT department, the system administrator, system
integrator or outsourcing provider.
•He is responsible for managing the development and operation of the entire IS / IT, ensuring the
development of the IS / IT management model, ensuring compliance between GST and IST, addressing
external suppliers, personnel management of IS / IT staff, IS audit management, IS / IT traffic.

•Within the life cycle of information systems, management and executives responsible for
information management are used to achieve the objectives of a particular method in order to
efficiently perform information management tasks.
•Basic methods of information management include analysis, synthesis, system approach, project
management, optimization, audit and operational control.

Information management methods

csvukrs

qMethod of analysis - is, in a general sense, a thought process that delimits a defined whole in
its parts.
qMethod of synthesis - represents the method of composing, joining, merging parts into an organic
whole. It is the opposite of analysis.
qSystem Access Method - Supports solution to the problem by system view, allowing you to see the
resulting system as a unity of elements and links between them.
qProject approach method - allows you to approach the preparation and design of an information
system as a project, with all the necessary policies and approaches.

qOptimization method - represents the process of finding the most appropriate configuration or best
practice with respect to specified criteria.
qAudit - is the method for verifying or evaluating the status and comparing it with the status
required.
qThe Operational Management Method - is based on the continuous monitoring of the state of the
information system and the elimination of its shortcomings.

•The first mention of the information society dates back to 1969 when Peter Drucker acknowledged
the arrival of knowledge workers as the logical consequence of investment in education.
•The subsequent investment in electronic infrastructure meant the arrival of an information
economy, also referred to as a network or digital economy.
•
•This completely new economy then greatly changes the nature and definition of capital itself.
Profits from intellectual capital as the primary source of wealth can dramatically increase in the
network economy, as the total value of the network grows exponentially with the number of
individual elements, as Vaněk (2013) says.

Information Society

csvukrs

•According to Jonák (2003), the Information Society is defined as "a society based on the
integration of information and communication technologies in all spheres of social life to such an
extent that it fundamentally changes social relationships and processes. The increase in
information resources and communication flows is increasing to the extent that it can not be
managed by existing information and communication technologies."
•
•Why is information so important? The answer is, for example, Vaněk (2013), which states that
information has become one of the key sources of each organization. Significant is also their
difference from material and financial resources, especially in the fact that their value decreases
considerably over time and does not diminish, on the contrary. Data stored by employees in
enterprise information systems is the property of an organization as well as systems themselves.
