Information Management

What is Information Management about?

Information Systems & Technology (IS/IT) have matured the last

decency. It has shifted from a support role to one where it is an

inherent part of a firm’s value proposition

IS/IT enables

• New organizational forms,

• The redesign of business processes, and

• The development of innovative business models and new business

strategies

2

Why is IM crucial for business?

•Critical decision to manage IS/IT have to be taken by digital

managers not by technological experts

•Technological innovation will keep disturbing business, providing

new opportunities

• Modern business must be able to take advantage of the

transformative and wealth generating potential of IS/IT

•Business needs to be able to assess which IS/IT best supports their

business model and invest in those

•Business depends critically on innovation and creativity in the use

and application of data for decision-making

Big data: Example of new challenges

• Big data is a new trend or hype.

• About getting more value from the huge amounts of data generated

by IT

• The key question for business and our master students is how big

data can be applied to the benefit of companies, individuals and

society.

IT can disrupt industries and…help mitigate risks

• Look for example at the retail industry where companies like

Amazon are revolutionizing retail.

• Again, the added value of our master students on the market will

come from understanding the implications of disruptive IT innovation

to the businesses and creating feasible paths from the current world

to the changed world after the IT disruption has done its work

• Management of knowledge and Innovation and IT trends with Dr. B.

van de Walle our risk management specialist and myself

ICT specialists by 2015 and of one million by 2025.

To boost the EU employment rate to reach 75 % by 2020,
