With growth in complexity in modern research, researchers have become
increasingly dependent on information. Information is produced with mechanical and
manual aids. The information system in an organization is like the nervous system of
an animal. The components of an information system perform functions, such as,

D-59-10

26

sensing, classification, transmission, storage, transformation, retrieval and display.

The main purpose of an information system is to enable decision-making and
coordination. When an organization is big and the problems it deals with are diverse
in nature and large in scope, regular information services will be required.
The demand for information increases with the demand of problems and their
solutions. Management information has vital implications for management.
Information is management information to the extent to which the manager has need
for it. Information and knowledge should be accumulated, not as a luxury but for
effective use.
In an information system, information is stored and it is located and recovered
when needed. The collection of information should be systematic so that it can be
stored and recovered without difficulty. Scientific information comprises
dissemination, organization, translation, travel, scientific information, scientific
conferences and symposia. A research scientist should keep himself fully posted with
all the work that is being done in his field in other laboratories not only in his country
but also in other countries of the world, otherwise he might be wasting his time in
duplicating.
Information is an important common denominator for all organizational
planning and control. Information economics is the study of the allocation of certain
scarce resources of an organization to achieve the best decisions for that organization.
It concentrates on the allocation of resources for storage of knowledge, for obtaining
information through data processing and for effective utilization of both stored
knowledge and processed information by scientists and technologists in the firm.
The demand for information relates directly to the attitude towards progress.
The strength of a nation lies in this healthy curiosity to see what more can be done. In
an industrial economy motivation leads to progress, and self-satisfaction weakens
men, industry and nations alike.
