This chapter is dedicated to the major managerial, organizational and technological aspects of development of data warehouses in a global information environment, when different external sources of information are available and potentially may have value for decision support and managerial analysis. It summarizes the major benefits that become available for businesses if they decide to integrate information from external sources into their data warehouses. It also introduces the overall organizational framework of development of data warehouses that are based upon the information from different external sources. Furthermore the author hopes that understanding of the framework introduced will not only inform practitioners (both information technology (IT) specialists and managers in different spheres of business) of new possible approaches to design of decision support systems but also assist in the improvement of approaches to decision-making procedures.

Networked communication is proliferating our world. The fact that global information communication technologies (ICTs) are becoming increasingly available is facilitating human computer interaction, which permeates the use of computer-mediated communication (CMC) in various organizations, groups, and interpersonal contexts. As a result, the issue facing today’s organizations is not whether to use global information technologies (GITs) in networked communication, but rather how to use them for effective functioning and as efficient coordination tool; especially how to incorporate GITs into the decision-making process. Consequently, this chapter examines the issues in designing CMC into group interactions and decision-making processes.

Insight Into

This forum places CEE at COP10 in the context of wider theoretical debates about global environmental governance. This special issue enhances our understanding of governance by examining how ideas travel and develop at meetings before they become the official documents and announcements that are the more common foci of such papers. The articles in this issue of GEP open up the ‘black box’ of decision-making and allow us to gain a better understanding of global environmental governance, in theory and in practice. These articles are firmly in line with International Political Economy approaches, allowing us to reflect on how regulations can mirror and deepen existing global inequalities, revealing the continuing power of epistemic communities, and demonstrating the important role of ideas. The special issue allows us insight into how global conventions work, how alliances are formed, how particular ideas emerge, and crucially, how alternatives are rendered silent and invisible.

Resumo O artigo discute a interlocução dos conceitos de “regime” e “informação” e sua aplicação na Ciência da Informação. Toma como base a noção de regime de informação apresentada por Frohmann, em artigos chaves da área de CI, publicados em 1994 e 1995, e a idéia inovadora defendida por Braman em 2004, sobre a formação de um  regime global de política de informação. Sem imergir no acervo teórico que envolve ambos os conceitos de “regime” e de “informação”, esse trabalho explora a visão de Frohmann e Braman, na articulação desses dois termos, complementada por outros autores interessados na temática e apresenta exemplos da aplicabilidade dessas visões, na CI.  Pela falta de consenso na determinação do objeto de estudo da disciplina e amplitude de aplicações do conceito de regime de informação, esse artigo visa consolidar e validar esse conceito, que segundo Frohmann e Braman, parece ser mais pertinente à compreensão da política de informação nos dias atuais. Palavras-chave regime de informação; política de informação; regime global de política de informação. Abstract The article works on the dialogue between "regime" and "information" and its application in Information Science. It is supported by the notion of information regime presented in Frohmann´s key articles in the area of Information Science, published in 1994 and 1995, and on the innovative idea advocated by Braman, in 2004, of the formation of a global information policy regime. With no intention of going in depth, in the collection that involves both theoretical concepts of "regime" and "information", this work explores the vision of Frohmann and Braman of these two terms, supplemented by others interested in the subject, and provides examples of the applicability of these views, in the Information Science. For lack of consensus in determining the subject matter of the discipline and breadth of applications of the concept of information regime, the reflection proposed in this article aims to consolidate and validate this concept, which according Frohmann and Braman seems to be  relevant to understanding information policy, currently. Keywords information regime; information policy; the global information policy regime.
