Information management
Introduction
Information is used for business almost in every aspect. Therefore, high requirements are often stated for information systems regarding their availability, reliability, continuity, controllability, inter-operational compatibility, flexibility and maintainability. Additionally, information must be accurate, complete, relevant and valuable. Consequently, the following questions arise: How do we manage information systems development projects? How can we solve an emerging business problem by employing an information system? How do we evaluate an information system from the perspective of its applications or performance? What is the underlying information theory, and is it explanatory or predictive in nature? What are the implications and impact of performing a predictive analysis?
All these are not only the task for the management specialists in information systems, but also the task for all levels of managers in all functional areas of business. The research could be theoretical, empirical, experimental, design science, and policy-oriented.
