8. Information for Managers

Abstract

Writing about information for managers is in some ways quite a daunting task because one could quite easily argue that the art and science of management is all about utilising information, and there are a number of definitions of management which illustrate that point. But what I want to cover here is based on my personal experience of the ways managers actually use and perceive information, focusing on what they find pertinent. I think that this is a crucial area of experience that information professionals are lacking: at what point do managers use information in the process of decision making?
