The overall goal of information management is getting the right information at the right time to the right people. Information management helps ease the interaction between an organisation’s information and the people interested in it. Organisations depend on information, and they depend on people who can take responsibility for managing information in the digital world. A key challenge is to find out how information can be managed so that it can be used optimally and strategically.

Linking information users and systems designers
This profile is based on the BA Programme in Information Management . Its objective is to give students competence to work with information management, strategy development and design of shared information environments, in both public and private companies, and on a global scale.

The profile enables students to work with complex information related questions that bridge traditional lines of division within companies. It qualifies students to diagnose and analyse challenges presented by information management, and respond to these challenges based on in-depth understanding of the relationship between information, technology, people and organisations, and of the important link between users of information and designers of information systems. The profile gives students the knowledge and insights to become leaders by obtaining an interdisciplinary and integrative approach to dealing with the complexities of information management in real-life organisations.
