ЩОДО ВИЗНАЧЕННЯ ПОНЯТТЯ ТА РОЛІ ІНФОРМАЦІЙНИХ РЕСУРСІВ В УПРАВЛІННІ ПІДПРИЄМСТВОМ

Abstract

The article examines the concept of "information resource" and approaches to its formation. It is noted that the high rates of digital transformation of management processes are caused by the conditions of digitalization of socio-economic and other spheres of society, the rise of the knowledge society, and the development of information and communication systems and technologies. The authors propose their own formulation of information resources, which is formulated from the standpoint of a managerial approach. Based on the results of the analysis of the theoretical foundations of information management, the article assigns characteristics of information resources, among which the most important are the ability to reduce or eliminate uncertainty, which reduces the risk of making a wrong decision; reusability, which reduces the overall cost of obtaining information and generates new data sets; and high growth rate of information resources in modern society, which is directly proportional to the frequency of their use. It is established that information in a management system becomes an information resource only when it is evaluated by the user. The essence of information resources is presented, which consists in the symbiosis of two concepts: information and resource. It is established that the use of information resources increases or updates their value, which is determined by a set of properties of utility and specificity. This process is quite complex in terms of implementation and organization. On the basis of the results a generalized scheme of management of information resources of an enterprise is built, which is based on the rule of maximization of efficiency of use of information as a resource. Two generalized groups have been assigned – sources of information resources – internal and external. The heterogeneity, diversity and specificity of primary external information are noted. The important role of external information resources in comprehensive assessment of performance and identification of promising areas for further development of the enterprise is noted. Conclusions are drawn regarding the practical significance of information resources in forecasting and planning the needs of enterprises.
