Информация в системе механизмов управления социальной организацией (на примере пенитенциарного социума)

Abstract

The paper attempts to analyze the role of infor-mation in the system of management mechanisms of penitentiary society (a specific type of a social organization). The author has made use of the con-ceptual approach in which information and man-agement influence is carried out by two subjects - the administration of correctional institutions and the penitentiary community. The difficulty in the qualitative assessment of the management mecha-nisms of such a social organization as the peniten-tiary society is that the information impact is carried out by two confrontational subjects. The incon-sistency of management information creates a situa-tion of instability both in the implementation of management mechanisms and in the organization of activities of the entire penitentiary society. The au-thor's analysis of the consequences of such a man-agement system for the penitentiary society shows that the use of innovative forms in the information support of management mechanisms needs further improvement.
