Leadership and the Role of Information for Innovation, Security and Knowledge Based Management

摘要

Information management is an important factor for organizations - as important as people, capital, and technology. Research results presented in this article based on an exploratory study done by the authors in the frame of the research project at the South-West University "Neofit Rilski", Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria in 2016 give reason to assume that creativity of managing processes is reflected not only in the ability of leaders to implement innovative situational approaches, but subordinate knowledge for the application of such approaches. We assume that the management of information becomes creative management only when it is based on relevant knowledge. The entire lifecycle of information -its existence, methods of collection, classification, storage, distribution, use, etc. contains the potential for creativity and innovation serves as a knowledge tool. We argue that leadership and knowledge based management are incompatible with the uncertainty of any kind.
