Information is at the heart of everything we do as humans. We generate it, we consume it, we share it and we sell it. The careful management of information is therefore key to success in business. An Introduction to information management and technology in business provides a solid overview of the role of information and technology in a business. It gives guidelines on collecting the right information and how to use it wisely and share it with the right people to support the firm's strategic objectives and `oil' the everyday operations of the business.

The aim of the book is to provide a context in the minds of readers as to where information fits in a business and what the key considerations are when it comes to information. In the course of six chapters this book sets out how information and communication technologies can support information, how information can be linked together through information systems, how the Internet and the Web support the dissemination of information, and how to best manage information and information systems. This book should equip you to better understand the flow, role and importance of information in your current or future business or what you can do to improve information management in a business. The book is easy to read and concise enough to bring together all the key considerations relating to information, management and business.
