Information systems and their role in economic management

Abstract

The paper defines the role and place of information systems in the management of economic objects. The main tasks that are solved by the economic information system are formulated. Theoretical provisions on the necessity of introduction of information technologies in enterprise management are grounded. The concept of "economic object information system" is disclosed. The components of the economic information system are highlighted. The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that in order to solve any task using a computer, you need to create information support (provide the calculations with the necessary data) and mathematical support (to create a mathematical model for solving the problem, which compiles a computer program). The purpose of the paper is to highlight the main problems, to substantiate the theoretical propositions regarding the need for the introduction of information systems and technologies in the management of economic objects. Economics management is information based and generates new information. The effectiveness of the economy of any object (enterprise, organization) depends largely on the ability of managers at different levels to carefully prepare and justify the decisions made. The conditions of a market (competitive) economy make serious demands on quality, timeliness, completeness, reliability of economic information, depth of analysis of economic indicators. The information system not only reflects the functioning of the control object, but also affects it through the controls. It is a set of information processes to meet the need for information at different levels of decision making, its purpose is to produce information for use (consumption) by the administrative apparatus. Accordingly, it provides for the accumulation, transmission, storage, processing and compilation of bottom-up information, as well as the concretization of top-down information. The purpose of IP is to describe the economic object, its states, interactions, which are expressed through economic indicators. It is intended to provide the management authorities with the necessary and sufficient information in a timely manner to make decisions, the quality of which ensures the highly efficient operation of the management entity.
