Making Information Work - A New Approach to Information Management for the 21st Century
Abstract
This paper will evaluate the United States Government's ability to utilize the informational element of power. It will examine the organizational structure and composition of the Executive Branch of the U.S. Government and assess its capacity to plan, coordinate, and manage the use of information in support of U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives. The paper will begin with defining what information is in the context of national power. It will examine future trends in foreign policy and national security as related to the elements of national power and demonstrate the increased need for the United States to possess a cohesive, well-choreographed, and synergistic information capacity. Finally, a few concluding thoughts will be offered along with several recommendations on how the United States Government can more adroitly manage information in the 21st century.
