摘要

This paper outlines current perceptions about information management (IM), its purpose and role in organizations, discussing why IM will be important in maintaining or improving corporate performance. IM is considered as a methodological attempt to prevent knowledge being lost in information. The introduction defines IM and is followed by a section which examines the idea of information as a manageable resource in relation to issues of current corporate concern. The next section summarizes the current state of IM and the activities included under this heading and its relationship to other information activities. The final section puts forward some ideas about how this field will develop and what expertise and technologies will be required for this development to occur.
