Today, more than eighty percent of workers collect and analyze information (often in digital form) in the course of doing their jobs. This book offers a guide to the role of information in modern business, mapping the use of information within work processes and tracing flows of information across supply-chain management, product development, customer relations, and sales. The emphasis is on information itself, not on information technology. Information, overshadowed for a while by the glamour and novelty of IT, is the fundamental component of the modern corporation. In Information and the Modern Corporation, longtime IBM manager and consultant James Cortada clarifies the differences among data, facts, information, and knowledge and describes how the art of analytics has all but eliminated decision making based on gut feeling, replacing it with fact-based decisions. He describes the working style of "road warriors," whose offices are anywhere their laptops and cell phones are and whose deep knowledge of a given topic becomes their medium of exchange. Information is the core of the modern enterprise, and the use of information defines the activities of a firm. This essential guide shows managers and employees better ways to leverage information--by design and not by accident. 410 0$aMIT Press essential knowledge series. 606 $aKnowledge management 606 $aCorporations 606 $aInformation resources management 606 $aInformation technology$xManagement 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aKnowledge management. 615 0$aCorporations. 615 0$aInformation resources management. 615 0$aInformation technology$xManagement. 676 $a658.4/038 700 $aCortada$b James W$0211597 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464761603321 996 $aInformation and the modern corporation$92282210 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02643nam 2200625Ia 450 001 9910954283803321 005 20240417233605.0 010 $a9781935978657 010 $a1935978659 010 $a9781935978664 010 $a1935978667 035 $a(CKB)2670000000277755 035 $a(OCoLC)823653795 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10612678 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000761200 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11507073 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000761200 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10725290 035 $a(PQKB)11388248 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3417029 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse18857 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3417029 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10612678 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL797742 035 $a(OCoLC)923514898 035 $a(Perlego)4522207 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000277755 100 $a20120410d2012 uy 1 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aCenterville, a novel /$fKaren Osborn 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aMorgantown, WV $cVandalia Press$d2012 215 $a1 online resource (257 p.) 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 08$a9781935978640 311 08$a1935978640 327 $aFront Cover -- Praise for Centerville -- Additional Priase -- Previous Books by Karen Osborn -- Dedication -- August, 1967 -- Chapter 1 -- Chapter 2 -- Chapter 3 -- Chapter 4 -- Chapter 5 -- Chapter 6 -- Chapter 7 -- Chapter 8 -- Chapter 9 -- Chapter 10 -- Chapter 11 -- Chapter 12 -- Chapter 13 -- Chapter 14 -- Chapter 15 -- Chapter 16 -- Chapter 17 -- Chapter 18 -- Chapter 19 -- Chapter 20 -- Chapter 21 -- Chapter 22 -- Chapter 23 -- Chapter 24 -- Author's Note -- Questions for Discussion -- About the Author -- Back Cover. 330 8 $aKaren Osborn is the author of three previous novels, Patchwork (a New York Times Notable Book of the Year), Between Earth and Sky, and The River Road.
