  • Chapter
Weltwirtschaft 2010

Part of the book series: Herausforderungen an das Management ((HERAUSMANAG,volume 15))

Zusammenfassung

Ein gleichermaßen komplexes als auch schlecht verallgemeinerbares Konzept wie Information kann nicht in eine abstrakte analytische Definition synthetisiert werden, welche alle Anwendungsbereiche abdeckt. Der Begriff Information ist charakterisiert durch eine Vielzahl von Bedeutungen. Insofern behaupten wir, dass wenn er überhaupt eine Bedeutung hat, dann bezieht sich diese auf den Prozess des jemanden über etwas informieren. Dieser Artikel versucht sich diesem Thema zu nähern und stellt Information aus einer multidimensionalen Perspektive dar basierend auf den vielfältigen Sichtweisen der Forschung, um Argumente für die richtige Anwendung des Begriffs Informierung in der IS profession consulting and education zu liefern. Zudem wird die Notwendigkeit der Implementierung von Informationssystemen, die wirklich der Verbesserung von Informationsbeschaffungsprozessen dienen, hervorgehoben.
