Abstract

Nowadays, information is the main factor of power and mastery of information is the true mastery. War between rich and poor countries is in fact the war of information and domineering countries that want to continue their exploitation of resources and wealth of backward countries have no interest in development of information infrastructure in these countries. Information management is a tool that helps managers make decisions. Managers achieve recognition by receiving information and processing it and identify possible options in problem solving through it and select the most appropriate of them. When manager starts to organize, he plans or hires human resources. Science of Information Management has been born and has grown with developments of the century and unfortunately, management in developing countries has a faded and an incomplete understanding of information management which results in abnormalities in the economic development and coordination of their activities.
