It holds overall generic concepts of management, which includes the planning, organizing, structuring, processing, controlling, evaluation, and reporting of information activities, that need to be organized in an ideal order to meet the specific needs of those with organizational roles or functions that depend on information. It allows information to be presented to the audience or the correct group of people after individuals are able to put that information to use, it then gains more value since it has been checked and evaluated.
