Der Begriff Information wurde 1940 von Norbert Wiener mit seiner Kybernetik eingeführt. Wesentlich für seine grosse Verbreitung war Shannons Informationstheorie, die wichtige Grundlagen der Nachrichten-, Rechen- und Speichertechnik bereitstellte. Heute ist Information ein nahezu universell angewendeter Begriff, der aber leider sehr oft nur unscharf und intuitiv benutzt wird ... Für alle Informationsarten werden die wichtigsten Beispiele eingeführt und ausführlich erklärt.

This book presents a holistic approach showing that enterprise information management (EIM) must be promoted from the top down, in order to ensure that the entire organization is committed to establishing and supporting systems and processes designed to capture, store, analyze, and disseminate information. Three key "pillars" of applications are presented: business intelligence, enterprise content management, and enterprise search. The authors explore EIM from economic and socio-psychological perspectives, considering the "ROI" (return on information) of IT and related technological investments, and the cultural and behavioral aspects through which people and machines interact. Case examples provide a variety of tools for managers to assess and improve the effectiveness of their EIM infrastructure, considering its implications for customer and client relations, process and system improvements, product and service innovations, and financial performance. --
