Features: This book first introduces the macro trend of informatization, treating information management as a specific aspect of informatization. It explains the importance and significance of this discipline for socialist construction from a "top-down" perspective, fostering a sense of pride in the cause. Then, it explores the scientific and technical foundations of the discipline from three aspects: information technology, management science, and systems science. Building on this foundation, it provides a preliminary, intuitive introduction to basic concepts such as information management, information systems, and information resources. Finally, it focuses on the requirements and cultivation pathways for students' knowledge and abilities. We hope this introduction will enable students to enter the field with a clear purpose and a more proactive approach. This book is a national-level "Five-Year Plan" textbook for general higher education and can serve as a teaching material for senior undergraduate or graduate courses in Information Management and Information Systems, as well as related disciplines such as Management Science and Engineering and Business Administration. It is also a valuable reference for researchers, corporate managers (especially those in charge of information systems and project management), and other practitioners in related fields.
