History[edit]
Emerging ideas in data management[edit]
In the 1970s, information management largely concerned what is now
called data management: punched cards, magnetic tapes, and other
record-keeping media, involving a life cycle of such formats requiring
origination, distribution, backup, maintenance, and disposal. At this
time the enormous potential of information technology began to be
recognized: for example, a single chip that stored an entire book, or
email that moved messages instantly around the world, remarkable
ideas at the time.https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesti%C3%B3n_de_la_informaci%C3%B3n - cite_note-11
With the proliferation of information technologies and the extended
reach of information systems in the 1980s and
1990s, https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesti%C3%B3n_de_la_informaci%C3%B3n - cite_note-:0-2
2 information
management took on a new form. Progressive companies such as
British Petroleum transformed the vocabulary of what was then "IT
management" so that "systems analysts" became "business
analysts", "supply monopoly" became a mix of "insourcing" and
"outsourcing", and the big function morphed into "lean teams" that
began to enable agility in processes that leveraged information for
business benefit. The scope of senior management interest at British
Petroleum extended from creating value through improved business
processes based on effective information management to enabling
the implementation of appropriate information systems
(https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesti%C3%B3n_de_la_informaci%C3%B3n - cite_note-:1-3or "applications")
operating on IT infrastructure that was outsourced. In this way,
information management was no longer a simple job that could be
done by anyone who had nothing else to https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesti
%C3%B3n_de_la_informaci%C3%B3n - cite_note-:1-3
do; it became highly strategic and a
matter of senior management
attention.https://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?
title=Alta_gerencia&action=edit&redlink=1 An understanding of the
technologies involved, the ability to manage information systems
projects and business change well, and the willingness to align
technology and business strategies all became
necessary. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesti%C3%B3n_de_la_informaci%C3%B3n - cite_note-:3-4

Positioning information management in the bigger picture[edit]
In the transitional period leading to the strategic vision of information
management, Venkatraman (a strong advocate of this transition and
transformation process,https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesti%C3%B3n_de_la_informaci%C3%B3n -
cite_note-:0-2
2 offered a simple arrangement of ideas that succinctly
brought together data management, information management and
knowledge management (see figure)) argued that:
Theoretical background[edit]
Behavioral and organizational theories[edit]
It is commonly believed that good information management is crucial
to the smooth functioning of organizations, and although there is no
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teor%C3%ADacommonly accepted
theory of information management per se, behavioral and
organizational theories help. Following the behavioral science theory
of management, developed primarily at Carnegie Mellon University
and prominently advocated by March and Simon, https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesti
%C3%B3n_de_la_informaci%C3%B3n - cite_note-:2-7
7 most of what happens in modern
organizations is actually information management and decision
making. A crucial factor in information management and decision
making is an individual’s ability to process information and make
decisions under constraints that may arise from context: a person’s
age, situational complexity, or the lack of required quality in the
information at hand – all of which are exacerbated by the rapid
advance of technology and the new types of systems it enables,
especially as the social web emerges as a phenomenon that
businesses cannot ignore. And yet, long before there was general
recognition of the importance of information management in
organizations, March and Simon7https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesti%C3%B3n_de_la_informaci
%C3%B3n - cite_note-:2-7
argued that organizations have to be considered as
cooperative systems, with a high level of information processing and
a vast need for decision-making at various levels. Instead of using the
model of "economic man" as advocated in classical
theory,8 https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesti%C3%B3n_de_la_informaci%C3%B3n - cite_note-8
they
proposed "administrative man" as an alternative, based on their
argument about the cognitive limits of rationality. They further
proposed the notion of satisficing, which involves searching through
available alternatives until a threshold of acceptability is met—
another idea that still has currency. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesti
%C3%B3n_de_la_informaci%C3%B3n - cite_note-9

Economic theory[edit]
In addition to the organizational factors mentioned in March and
Simon, there are other issues that arise from economic and
environmental dynamics. There is the cost of collecting and
evaluating the information needed to make a decision, including the
time and effort required.10 The transaction cost associated with
information processes can be high. In particular, established
organizational norms and procedures can prevent the most
appropriate decision from being made, leading to suboptimal
outcomes.https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesti%C3%B3n_de_la_informaci%C3%B3n - cite_note-111112 This is
an issue that has been raised as a major problem with bureaucratic
organizations that miss out on economies of strategic change due to
entrenched attitudes.13
19
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesti%C3%B3n_del_conocimiento
although much of the optimistic early thinking about business process
redesign has since been discredited in the information management
literature. 20 In the field of strategic studies, understanding the
information environment, conceived as the aggregate of individuals,
organizations, and systems that collect, process, disseminate, and
process information, is considered of the highest priority. or act on
the information. This environment consists of three interrelated
dimensions that continually interact with individuals, organizations
and systems. These dimensions are physical, informational and
cognitive.21
Aligning technology and business strategy with information
management[edit]
Venkatraman has provided a simple view of the capabilities needed
by an organization that wants to manage information well – the DICAR
model (see above). He also worked with others to understand how
technology and business strategies could be appropriately aligned to
identify the specific capabilities needed. 22 This work was paralleled by
other writers in the world of consulting, 23
practice24 https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesti%C3%B3n_de_la_informaci%C3%B3n - cite_note-24
and
academia.25
A contemporary portfolio model for information[edit]
Bytheway has collected and organized basic tools and techniques for
information management in a single volume. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesti
%C3%B3n_de_la_informaci%C3%B3n - cite_note-:4-6
6 At the heart of his view of
information management is a portfolio model that takes into account
the growing interest in external sources of information and the need
to organize external unstructured information to make it useful (see
figure).
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuadro_de_mando_integral
35
there
has been a great deal of interest in business performance
management, but not much effort has been made to relate
business performance management to the benefits of information
technology investments and the introduction of new information
systems until the turn of the millennium.25
Business strategy: Although far removed from the day-to-day
issues of information management in organizations, strategy in
most organizations simply must be informed by the opportunities
of information technology and information systems, whether to
address poor performance or to enhance differentiation and
competitiveness. Strategic analysis tools, such as value chain and
critical success factor analysis, depend directly on paying due
attention to the information that is (or could be)
managed.https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesti%C3%B3n_de_la_informaci%C3%B3n - cite_note-:3-44
Information management processes[edit]
Even with full capability and competence within all six areas of
knowledge, it is argued that things can still go wrong. The problem
lies in the migration of ideas and the value of information
management from one area of expertise to another. Summarizing
what Bytheway explains in some detail (and supported by selected
secondary references):36
40
However, the implementation of new forms of information
management should normally lead to operational benefits.
Galbraith's early work[edit]
In early work, taking an information processing view of organizational
design, Jay Galbraith has identified five tactical areas for increasing
information processing capacity and reducing the need for
information processing.41
