Information as a Production Factor :
Most international organizations produce more
information in a week than many people could read in a
lifetime . The situation is even more alarming in
worldwide networks like Internet. Everyday hundreds of
megabytes of data are distributed around the world, but
it is no longer possible to monitor this increasingly
rapid development - the growth is exponential .We are
confronted with the new paradox of the growth of data ,
that more data means less information. In the future, the
ability to read and interpret alone will not be enough to
survive as professional or a professional organization.
The Mechanical Production and reproduction of data
force us to adapt our strategies and develop mechanical
methods for filtering , selecting , and interpreting
data .Organizations that excel in doing this will have a
better chance of surviving , and because of this ,
information itself has become a production factor of
importance .This tendency is perhaps most obvious in
the stock exchange , where it is not only the availability
of data that is vital but also the ability to interpret the
data, and to act on the basis of these interpretations.
Most organizations have large databases that contain a
wealth of potentially accessible information. However it
is usually very difficult to access this information .The
growth of data will lead to a situation in which it is
increasingly difficult to access the desired information:
it will always be like looking for a needle in a haystack,
only the amount of hay will be growing all the time.
Knowledge Discovery in Databases is a new field of
Data Mining . In data mining , enormous quantities of
debris have to be removed before diamonds or gold can
be found. With computers , one can automatically find
‘information diamond’ among the tons of debris in the
database.
