Strategic Information Management & concept and reality

Abstract

The Strategic Issue Organisations — government, companies, institutions — are currently dominated by their service functions. This can be demonstrated easily by looking at the accounts of a public company. However skilfully massaged the figures are, they inevitably betray the fact that a high proportion of expenditure goes to overhead and peripherals. Administration costs, and the non‐productive elements of personnel, prestige expenses, and equipment and maintenance will be likely to effect a reduction of profit close to 30%.
