Prelim Question 1

1. HOW DO YOU PERCEIVE INFORMATION AS A RESOURCE OF A COMPANY?
-----We are now working in an information economy -- with information as the key resource. But similar to other resources, information must be produced, consciously used, and effectively deployed. -http://capita.wustl.edu/ME567_informatics/concepts/infores.html
It is important for the companies to be aware of the newest resource, so that they are able to use it efficiently, and benefit from it, as well as not abuse it.Information is a resource on its own, as well as an asset to others. It starts with data, which leads to information, coming together as knowledge, and resulting in wisdom. Companies, are also not able to own information like we are able to own resources such as land and capital. Information is, however, far more accessible that these resources, and has become our key resource.



2. CITE A COMPANY, ITS NATURE. DESCRIBE HOW THE INFORMATION FROM ITS ENVIRONMENT IMPROVES ITS MANAGEMENT AND BUSINESS AS A WHOLE.

Through knowing the newest external information the company, it would create another idea on how to develop their services/products. Because I believe the demand of the public must be the goal of the company. And with the help of the newest information on the environment they would know where to adjust and what shall they do.
