1.2 Good and Poor Information

What is good information

Relevant;  The information obtained and used should be needed for decision-making. it doesn't matter how interesting it is. Businesses are often criticised for producing too much information simply because their information systems can "do it". A good way of ensuring relevance is to closely define the objectives of any information reports. Another way to improve relevance is to produce information that focuses on "exceptions" - e.g. problems, high or low values, where limits have been exceeded.




Accurate;   As far as possible, information should be free from errors (e.g. the figures add up; data is allocated to the correct categories). The users of information should be informed whenever assumptions or estimates have been used. Accruate information is usually a function of accurate data collection. If information needs to be extremely accurate, then more time needs to be allocated for it to be checked. However, businesses need to guard against trying to produce "perfect" information - it is often more important for the information to be up-to-date than perfect.

Easy to use and understand;  Information should be clearly presented (e.g. use summaries, charts) and not too long. It also needs to be communicated using an appropriate medium (e.g. email, printed report, presentation. Businesses should also consider developing "templates" which are used consistently throughout the organisation - so that users get used to seeing information in a similar style.

What is poor information?



Irrelevant;  information is of little value when it is too old of out-of-data to be relevant to the users need.

Swamping;  It is not helpful when information is too voluminous to allow any sense to be made of it. It is the quality of information is important. not the quantity 

Unclear;  information is poor when it is not presented in a way that will facilitate a decision . 


Not all threw;  If information is incomplete. it may fail to provide a clear sense of the entirety of problem.

1.3 Sources of Information


Primary source;   Is a term used in a number of disciplines to describe source material that is closest to the person, information, period, or idea being studied

secondary source;   Is a document or recording that relates or discusses information originally presented elsewhere



tertiary source;   Is a term used to describe a work which is chiefly a selection or compilation of other primary and secondary sources.

Information Literate




      Information Literacy is the ability to identify what information is needed, understand how the information is organized, identify the best sources of information for a given need, locate those sources, evaluate the sources critically, and share that information. It is the knowledge of commonly used research techniques.

Information Overload

     Information overload is a description given to the phenomenon where so much information is taken in by the human brain that it becomes nearly impossible to process it.

Value of information 

     information comes to us in a myriad of forms and from a variety of sources including
books. videos television. online databases. billboards. web sites. news papers. people
and more. 

1.4 Users of Information

* Business and industry
* Education

* Entertainment

1.5 What is mind map?

Mind mapping is a strategy for helping students order and structure their thinking through mentally mapping words or/and concepts. As a way of helping students make notes that used only key words and images. They are much quicker to make, and because of their visual quality much easier to remember and review. The difference between concept maps and mind maps is that a mind map has only one main concept, while a concept map may have several.
