Information management, in the context of organizations, can be identified as the discipline that deals with everything related to obtaining the appropriate information in the right way, for the right person, at the good cost, at the appropriate moment, in the right place and articulating all these operations for the development of correct action. In this context, the main objectives of the Information Management are: maximizing the value and benefits of use of information, minimizing the acquisition cost, processing and use of information, identify responsibilities for the effective, efficient and economic use of information and ensure a continuous supply of information.
The Information Management has a close relationship with the discipline of Knowledge Management in the organizational context. The objectives of the Information Management focus on those processes related to storage, processing and dissemination of explicit knowledge that is represented in the documents. However, in this context, knowledge management goes a little beyond the Information Management. This would be in charge of making all knowledge into corporative knowledge and disseminate it appropriately. It mainly deals with the pragmatic and strategic decisions relating to the creation, identification, capture, storage and dissemination the integrated knowledge in an organization. And finally, the development of these operations would be implemented in tume with the human dimension of these processes, respecting and redesigning the necessary organizational elements.
