The paper argues that information management systems which work in tandem with organisational strategy will help to maintain a company's competitive edge and stability – but that information management is still in need of recognition due to an over-emphasis on the management of technology rather than on how information is gathered, stored, audited and used. Important studies on information strategy are cited – Bocij ,Greasley & Hickie, 2006, Galliers & Leidner, and the four-stage Nolan and Gibson model of data administration – and the paper demonstrates how information is possibly the most important strategic tool for business. The alignment of information communications and business strategy, argues the paper, is not a technical programme that can be simply run, but a system that must mature, with individual companies having very different approaches to information strategy.
