Information strategies : myth or reality?

Abstract

Discusses possible reasons for the neglect of formal information strategies or policies at an organizational level, despite the importance attached to information technology hardware and data. This may arise from a failure to understand how a corporate strategy needs to integrate both its human and technological resources in a considered manner; neither information nor technology should be seen as ends in their own right. Sets out the conditions in which formal information strategies could flourish and become the norm within organizations; these include the promotion of a climate in which it is natural to be inquisitive; awareness of the importance of information and the need to share it; and adequate management support for the regular updating of the knowledge and skills involved in information handling
