Meeting
Managers' Information Needs
Helen Butcher
''...
a book packed with such good, common sense ideas that it should
be required reading for everybody charged with managing information.'
(Managing Information Book of the Month January/February 1999)
'...
a source of insights that could be very valuable in making
sense of practical problems.' (Performance Measurement and
Metrics: The International Journal for Library and Information
Services)
This report focuses
on how managers actually use information to make business
decisions. It explores how to establish managerial information
needs in the context of the organisation as well as the
specific manager's role, to ensure that managers have the
right information at the right time to perform effectively.
The author suggests that currently many information professionals
are not delivering what organisations' managers need in
the way of information, and makes practical recommendations
for the way forward.
Partial contents:
Introduction; The organisation, the environment and information;
What do managers do? Why do managers need information? Sources
of managerial information; Characteristics of useful information;
Managers and information - the future.
