Abstract: The importance of information as an economic product is being stressed and its vital role to our society is emphasized. Since the value of information to society is increasing, its management should be strengthened. This is a challenge to information managers, particularly in balancing reduction of resource investments and increases in the value of information assets. An analysis of the information cycle in this respect is given and a plea is made for information managers to contribute significantly to the development of the future office.
