Abstract

Information society: what does it mean today? We need some meaning-archeological considerations to jump from the early information society definitions to the nowadays information strategies. "Information strategy" (or "Information Society Development Program" or simply "IT-policy") as an emerging entity of Government-level strategic planning combines and integrates the former sectoral policies - a library-based information policy, the information technology industry development, the cultural,educational and scientific policies etc. The "Vision" character as a focus-point of the planning method was born in the late 70's in biggest (multinational) companies, as a new alignment with the latest generation of strategic information systems. The political sphere has adapted this solution from the management science, and have built into his planning methodology.
