Description

First published in 1993, this Routledge Revivals edition explores the critical decision-making factors for optimal information service delivery at the organisational level. The book addresses how businesses can effectively allocate human resources, technology infrastructure, and information assets to maximise efficiency and control costs.

Whether you manage traditional libraries, information centres, or corporate technology departments, this comprehensive guide provides strategic frameworks for evaluating the most cost-effective approaches to information management and service provision in today's evolving business landscape.
