Fields of application, methods of and current trends in information management

Abstract

Topics of information management are coming up not only in the literature of the subject [1–4] but also in everyday life. Aspects of these topics are particularly worthy of attention as this process increasingly expands beyond the boundaries of a specific business organisation – an enterprise – and is becoming widespread in politics, culture, science and, obviously, in business. This is because information management processes encompass not just simple information processing and analysis, but primarily its acquisition, collecting and transmission.
