Importance of information management 1
1, management innovation, the internal demand of enterprise development
Management innovation requires enterprise innovation to run through the whole management process, so that management changes with the environment of technology, market and knowledge. Moreover, it also requires the whole organization and its members to constantly learn, share and use knowledge, and take innovation as the main activity in the enterprise. In the knowledge-based economy society, innovation is the fundamental guarantee to win the competition, and innovation management is the foundation of the future production and development of enterprises. It can help enterprises develop from individual innovation to comprehensive innovation and from individual innovation to group innovation, thus promoting comprehensive innovation.
2. Information management is an effective means to solve management problems.
Information management can make the operation of enterprises transparent, solve the problems of opaque production and operation activities and difficult to monitor, so as to avoid the problems of asset loss, low productivity and duplication of institutions. At the same time, it can also guide and promote the communication and coordination of all departments and links within the enterprise, help the enterprise collect external and internal information, and make correct decisions through research and analysis, so as to make the enterprise develop in an all-round way.
3. The combination of enterprise informatization and management innovation is an inevitable choice for enterprise development.
With the deepening of market economy, the traditional management concepts and models have not adapted to the current information society. The success of an enterprise must depend on information and innovation, which have become a strategic resource. Enterprise management innovation and informatization are the needs of the development of market economy. The innovation project of information management is not only the benefit project of enterprises, but also the survival project of enterprises. If an enterprise loses its advantageous position in information construction, it will be eliminated by the market.
The Importance of Information Management II
Change acquisition method
In the traditional way, the acquisition of raw data depends on the naked eye observation, manual counting or instrument measurement of enterprise employees. Under the condition of informationization, the required data or information can be automatically obtained by using sensing equipment. For example, the quantity of inventory is automatically measured by shelves equipped with weight sensing devices, and the personnel on duty are replaced by automatic monitoring devices. The use of automatic sensing equipment has the advantages of high automation, high accuracy, 24-hour uninterrupted, real-time data acquisition, and no influence from harsh environment, which provides a foundation for enterprises to implement more effective internal control.
Change storage mode
The storage medium changed from paper to magnetic disk or optical disk. Compared with paper media, magnetic media or optical media has the characteristics of high storage density and no trace, and its influence on internal control is two-sided. High storage density enables enterprises to centrally store data and information resources, which is convenient for protection, but once it is damaged or stolen, enterprises will suffer greater losses. Erasing without trace increases the possibility of data being tampered with, and internal control needs to be strengthened.
Improve processing efficiency
In the information environment, the speed and efficiency of information processing can be greatly accelerated with the help of the high-speed processing ability of computers. However, the impact on internal control is also two-sided. On the one hand, the improvement of information processing efficiency is conducive to enterprises to implement more complex and effective control measures and methods, and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of internal control. On the other hand, with the help of high-speed information processing ability, the ability of enterprise employees or management authorities to falsify can also be improved, for example, using random number generation program to falsify the amount of accounts receivable or inventory, using report preparation program to quickly compile multiple false financial statements, and so on. This in turn requires enterprises to strengthen internal control.
Change the mode of transmission
The information transmission in the information environment has changed the methods of summoning, reporting and telephone call in the artificial environment. The information is transmitted at the speed of light by using cables, optical cables and radio waves, and the amount of information transmitted is far from that of traditional methods, which provides a basis for enterprises to strengthen internal control. However, if the information transmission process is hindered or destroyed, it will also bring greater losses to enterprises.
Improve information integration
With the support of perfect enterprise information system, enterprise leaders can know multinational companies all over the world like the back of their hands in front of computer screens without leaving home. With a few clicks of the mouse, you can clinch a deal, mobilize funds and direct employees. Enterprise information system provides a basis for enterprises to strengthen internal control, but also puts forward higher requirements for internal control of enterprises.
Improve information value
In the information age, people's ability to use information resources has been improved. People have realized that the data and information resources of enterprises are one of the most valuable assets of enterprises. Information is intangible. Compared with tangible assets, information theft is more hidden and difficult to be found. This requires that internal control should not only protect tangible assets, but also protect the data and information assets of enterprises. At the same time, effective protection measures should be taken according to the characteristics of information.
Change the way of working
In the information environment, people may contact and communicate more and more through computer networks, and the direct contact between people will decrease. The invisibility and anonymity of the online world will have a certain impact on people's psychology, thus affecting the control environment.
The Importance of Information Management 3
1. Enterprise informatization construction is the objective requirement of the information age.
Nowadays, the world has entered the information age, and information productivity belongs to the emerging social productivity. The information society represents the inevitable trend of social progress, and it has become a global trend to transform enterprises by using information technology. This trend is manifested in the following aspects.
(1) Investment in information and communication infrastructure is increasing. In recent years, many countries have invested a lot of money in information and communication infrastructure. Investment in this field in developed countries is growing faster, while investment in information and communication technology in developing countries, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, is also growing. 1980, except the United States, the investment in information and communication facilities in other countries accounted for less than 15% of the total non-residential investment. By 2000, the investment ratio of many countries exceeded 15%, and some countries were close to 30%. The huge investment of government or organization in information and communication infrastructure has created a good hardware environment for enterprise informatization, and also provided electronic development for enterprises.
(2) Trading activities through e-commerce are increasing. Using e-commerce to purchase and sell is one of the main contents of enterprise informatization. At present, the proportion of e-commerce transactions used by enterprises in their total transactions is still very small. In the future, the volume of e-commerce transactions will continue to grow.
(3) The information gap between developed and developing countries is widening. The primary informatization process of enterprises in developed countries has been basically completed, and now it has entered the stage of advanced informatization construction, while many developing countries are still in the stage of primary informatization construction. Many scholars use the concept of "digital divide" to describe the gap between developing countries and developed countries in informatization. The digital divide is the gap in the level of informatization development and the asymmetry of information. The digital divide exists not only between developed and developing countries, but also within developing countries. The problem of digital divide has attracted great attention of heads of state. Both the APEC summit and the annual economic conference in Davos, Switzerland, are the keys to all kinds of problems affecting human social and economic development.
2. The difficulty of enterprise informatization can nominate the core competitiveness of enterprises.
China has long practiced extensive management. Although the economic growth and development of Duhui is very fast, the price paid for it is also relatively high. According to relevant statistics, from 1953 to 1985, China's national income increased by 9.6 times, while energy consumption increased by 14 times. In 1990s, the total level of energy and raw material consumption in China was comparable to that in Japan, but the GNP was only 1/6 of that in Japan. The labor productivity is only 5% of the world advanced level. As a leap-forward country with scarce per capita resources, China can no longer rely on excessive consumption of energy and raw materials to maintain rapid economic growth.
(1) enterprise informatization is a necessary means for enterprises to adapt to the rapidly changing market environment. In the information age, the market is changing rapidly, the pace of product research and development, production, listing and service is accelerating day by day, the product life cycle is greatly shortened, and the production mode of enterprises has also changed, from the traditional large-scale production mode with few varieties to the small-scale and multi-variety production mode. Customer demand determines the survival of an enterprise. It is the premise and foundation for an enterprise to meet the increasingly personalized needs of customers with the best quality, the shortest time, the lowest cost and the most perfect service. Understanding, analyzing, transforming, developing, guiding and realizing users' needs has become the focus and difficulty of enterprise work. With the acceleration of global economic integration, any enterprise will face the strongest competition and challenge from the industry, the region and even the world-class enterprises, and also have the opportunity to develop its own potential customers in the global park. In a sense, information resources are more important than material and energy resources in a strategic sense, and the competitiveness of enterprises depends largely on their information competitiveness. Informatization construction has become the best choice and the only way for enterprises to gain competitive advantage.
① Reduce costs and improve business efficiency. The establishment of various management information systems and the informationization of the production process can greatly reduce the input of human resources. All kinds of information engineering construction, to a certain extent, are based on reducing the consumption of material resources, and have excellent performance in reducing inventory and scrap rate. More importantly, informatization shortens the time of product design, production, sales and service, thus greatly saving time and cost.
② Improve quality and promote sales. On the one hand, informatization emphasizes standardization, standardization, systematization and proceduralization, which can reduce or even replace a large number of unnecessary manual operations, eliminate uncertainty to the maximum extent, and effectively control and improve product quality. On the other hand, information construction will expand the products of enterprises in the customer market, further diversify the channels and means of locking, make it possible for enterprises to change from the traditional transaction-centered management model to the customer-centered management model, and continuously improve customer satisfaction. Internal management of 70 enterprises. Informatization enables managers to grasp the internal and external information of enterprises more completely, timely and accurately, so as to realize real-time communication between superiors and subordinates, between departments and between internal and external, and enable enterprises to manage logistics and capital flow more effectively through the management of information flow.
④ Enhance the innovation ability and competitiveness of enterprises. On the one hand, the application of information technology enables enterprises to quickly understand the market demand and scientific and technological trends, and promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into real productive forces, on the other hand, it also greatly improves their own scientific research and development capabilities and efficiency. Without high-level informatization, enterprises will lose the qualification to participate in international competition and cooperation.
⑤ Improve the decision-making level. Correct decision-making is the guarantee for enterprises to seek long-term vitality. Information is the basis of decision-making, and informatization enables decision-makers to obtain complete information inside and outside the network and inside and outside the enterprise in time. In the era of information explosion, informatization can help decision makers to eliminate the interference of bad information and make correct decisions with appropriate information; Decision support system, expert system and business intelligence system can help enterprises make decisions more scientifically and efficiently.
(2) Enterprise informatization is the requirement for enterprises to participate in international competition. At present, the trend of global economic integration is increasingly obvious, and information technology plays a very important role in the process of economic globalization. Without the development of information technology such as computer network technology and communication technology, the operation and management of multinational companies will encounter great challenges. China has joined the World Trade Organization. China enterprises are gradually integrating into the international market. On the one hand, they can participate in the distribution of international resources and expand the international market. On the other hand, it will also bring great challenges. Our enterprise must realize that information resources are the lifeline of the enterprise. Whoever has better information collection, processing, processing and dissemination capabilities will have the conditions to gain competitive advantage, seize market opportunities and have the opportunity to win the final victory.

1. Definition: enterprise information management (EIM): refers to the management of enterprise information implementation process. It is a process in which information technology permeates enterprises from local to global, from tactical to strategic levels, and is applied to all processes to support enterprise management.
2. Source: The information source is not limited to the inside of the enterprise, but also includes the outside of the enterprise, that is, the external information source related to the production, sales and competition of the enterprise. The scope and quality of information source collection are influenced by many factors, such as the information strategic positioning of enterprises, the information needs of workers responsible for production and decision-making within enterprises, the difficulty of information acquisition, the level of information quality and so on.
3. Essence: The essence of enterprise information management is information integration, and its core elements are the construction of data platform and deep data mining. Through the information management system, the enterprise's design, procurement, production, manufacturing, finance, marketing, operation and management are integrated together, so that it can find its potential customers by using modern technical means while enjoying information and resources, effectively support the enterprise's decision-making system, and achieve the purpose of reducing inventory and increasing output.
4. Category: ERP, OA, CRM, BI, PLM, e-commerce, etc. It has become an indispensable application system for enterprises in the process of management informatization. Among them, ERP is moving towards highly integrated whole process management informationization. At present, how to participate in the international market competition to a greater extent, how to get rid of the complex organizational structure and build the optimal value network has become a long-standing problem.
5. Decision-making system: decision-making, strategy and tactics. Accordingly, the enterprise information management system includes three levels: strategic management, implementation management and operation and maintenance management. Strategic management is the leader of enterprise information management, and enterprise information construction must obey the overall planning and strategy of the enterprise. The strategic management level mainly includes how information technology adapts and integrates with the long-term planning and development strategy of enterprises; How can information technology effectively guarantee the sustainable development of enterprises? How to use information technology to plan business processes and enhance the competitiveness of enterprises? The implementation and management of enterprise informatization mainly includes commercial software implementation, software development and hardware deployment. Effective management ensures the smooth implementation of software development projects and system integration projects. The focus of operation and maintenance management is to ensure that the implemented projects play their due roles and that various systems can operate normally, stably, efficiently and safely.
6. Development trend: The rapid development of information technology has changed the traditional economic structure and social order in China. Enterprises are not in the past material economic environment, but in the information economic environment with network as the medium and customer as the center, which closely links the enterprise organizational structure, technology research and development, manufacturing, marketing and after-sales service. Information-driven management reform has had an all-round impact on the growth of enterprises. It will completely change the original business philosophy, business mode and business model of the enterprise. With the help of powerful methods and means provided by informatization, it will be realized through business model innovation, product technology innovation, or increasing investment in various resources. The key to its success is the organic combination of different growth stages of enterprises and information tools. The information products and related services provided by traditional software manufacturers are only limited to the manufacturer's own product range, thus forming a delivery activity only aimed at selling a certain product transaction, ignoring the diversified needs of customers derived from this organic combination and the emerging new needs with the development of business, resulting in the common problems of stage cooperation, product update, repeated maintenance and frequent support with customers in the domestic ERP software industry.
With the continuous expansion of organization scale, changing business model and changing market environment, the growth path of enterprises will lead to the evolution of information management requirements from local to whole, from headquarters to grassroots, from simple to one-way combination. Enterprise informatization will complete the whole informatization construction from initial construction to continuous optimization, upgrading, expansion and promotion, which embodies the characteristics of enterprise information management from narrow to wide, from shallow to deep, from simple to complex. ERP software system plays an increasingly important role in promoting enterprise management reform, improving performance management and enhancing the core competitiveness of enterprises. Facing the demand of information technology innovation in the Internet era and the growth path of Chinese enterprises, the application expansion of C/S mode is completed through B/S mode, which enables different personnel to access and operate the same data in different places based on different access methods of IE browser, greatly reducing the system maintenance and upgrade costs of remote users and creating a "timely, convenient and accurate".
