Information Policy Management for Effective Governance of Information Resources in Institutions

Information policy in managing information resources is considered important components in the information governance framework. However, the body of information management policy within the structure of the organizations remains less established for. This scenario could have been attributed to the lack of study in this area and, which has created voids in practical, methodological and theoretical understanding of information policy, particularly in relation to the management of information resources in organizations. The organizational information policy can be best understood from the manner it is operated in the actual environments, this suggests the case study is best suited as the research approach. Formal and informal initiatives adopted by organizations in managing their information resources, together with people and information technology resources, particularly on the creation, storage, use and dissemination of information should be examined to determine and to derive natures of information policy and how it has developed and impacted information management in organizations.
