4. Weapons of Management

5. Information Revolution
• For 50yrs, Information Technology has centered on DATA
-their collecttion,storage,transmission,presentation
• From the ‘T’ to ‘I’ in ‘IT’ (Technology to Information
technology)
• It Has focus on T in IT
• The new information revolutions focus on “I”
• They ask, “What is the MEANING of information and its
PURPOSE ? ” And this is leading rapidly to redefining the tasks
to be done with the help of information and, with it, to
redefining the institutions that do these tasks.

6. Information Technology

7. From the ‘T’ to ‘I’ in ‘IT’
• The Current Information Revolution is actually the fourth
Information Revolution in Human history.
• The First one was the invention of writing five thousand to six
thousand years ago in Mesopotamia,then in china.
• The second information revolution was brought
on by the invention of the written book first in china.
• The third information revolution was set of by
Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press of
movable type, between 1450 and 1455.
• Is there anything we can lean today from what happened
five hundred years ago

8. From the ‘T’ to ‘I’ in ‘IT’
• The Current Information Revolution is actually the fourth
Information Revolution in Human history.
• The First one was the invention of writing five thousand to six
thousand years ago in Mesopotamia,then in china.
• The second information revolution was brought
on by the invention of the written book first in china.
• The third information revolution was set of by
Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press of
movable type, between 1450 and 1455.
• Is there anything we can lean today from what happened
five hundred years ago

9. Gutenberg introduces the press
• Europe consisted of hundred of monasteries ,many if
which housed large numbers of highly skilled monks.
Each one labored from down to dusk, six days a week,
coping book by hand
• An industries ,well trained Monk could do 4-25 pages a
day gives annual output of Approx 1200 -1300 hand
written pages
• Fifty years later, by 1500,the monks had become
unemployed.
• A printing team could produce annually at least 5
million printed pages ,bound into 25,000 books ready
to be sold

10. The Fourth Information revolution
• The cost and price reductions of the third Information
Revolution were at least as great as those of the present,
the fourth Information Revolution. And so were the
speed and the extent of its spread.
• Just as important as the reduction in costs and the
speed of the new printing technology was its impact on
what information meant
• Luther, on October 31, 1517, nailed his ninety-five
theses on a church door in an obscure German town.
These printed leaflets ignited the religious firestorm
that turned into the Reformation.

12. Evolution in Processors

13. Information Enterprises Need
• It is now necessary to define
• Information

14. Form Cost Accounting to Result Control
• Outside information is needed because misinformation or
wrong data may be inadvertently supplied by an
organization's own people in their rush to meet
expectations. A few years ago, before the financial collapse
in mainland Asia, there was widespread misinformation of
this sort regarding investment conditions.
• Traditional Cost Accounting by GM
• Activity based costing
• Result Control

17. Organizing Information
• Drucker gives some popular methods of organizing management
data
• Key Events on which performance hinges primarily.
• Probability Theory to identify events outside a normal
probability distribution.
• Threshold Phenomenon to screen data until is passes a
threshold of Significance.
• Pay attention to unusual events and determine their significance.
• Direct impartial observations by outsiders is essential and
Commentary.

18. Going Outside
• This gets to the heart of information processes, and
personality type theory.
• If S-T-J organizations are located far away from the real
customers and suppliers, how is a balanced view possible? If
both headquarters and branch offices follow the older S-T-J
model, how can balance be achieved?
• What practices encourage more balance with the parallel NF-P poles of information? How do management personality
type norms affect management assumptions, strategies,
change leadership, and information challenges?
• Drucker advises top management to "go outside"!
