商品描述

Organisations are using data, information and knowledge as a competitive weapon. Their data, information and knowledge are arguably their most valuable assets. Yet, this fourth asset is managed badly when compared to the other three assets, namely money, people and infrastructure with considerable risk to the organisation. Executives are accountable for the success of their organisations, and those who don't manage this critical resource and business enabler effectively can be regarded as negligent. Information Assets carry enormous risk and value. Most boards and executives don't know how to govern and manage IAs effectively and nobody is held accountable. Given this, organisations should govern and manage their Information Assets the way they manage their Financial Assets. The benefits of managing IAs well are compelling. These benefits include increased efficiency, productivity, employee satisfaction, improved decision-making, mitigating business risk and improving product, protecting corporate reputation and service delivery. Drawing on ground-breaking research, this book explains why Information Assets are so important to organisations and the barriers to managing them well.

This book is unique in the sense that it takes a fresh look at this topic, is based on experience and research, and includes interviews from more than 70 industry leaders. In short, this book is written by executives and explains where to start.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

組織正在利用數據、信息和知識作為競爭武器。這些數據、信息和知識可以說是他們最有價值的資產。然而，與其他三種資產（即金錢、人力和基礎設施）相比，這第四種資產的管理相對不善，對組織帶來了相當大的風險。高層管理人員對其組織的成功負有責任，那些未能有效管理這一關鍵資源和商業推動力的人可被視為疏忽。信息資產承擔著巨大的風險和價值。大多數董事會和高層管理人員不知道如何有效地治理和管理信息資產（Information Assets），而且沒有人為此負責。基於此，組織應該像管理其財務資產一樣治理和管理其信息資產。有效管理信息資產的好處是顯而易見的。這些好處包括提高效率、生產力、員工滿意度、改善決策、降低商業風險、提升產品質量、保護企業聲譽和服務交付。這本書基於開創性的研究，解釋了為什麼信息資產對組織如此重要以及有效管理它們的障礙。

這本書的獨特之處在於它對這一主題進行了全新的審視，基於經驗和研究，並包含了70多位行業領袖的訪談。簡而言之，這本書是由高層管理人員撰寫的，並解釋了從何開始。
