Introduction to Information Management and Auditing


Explanation:
'Nederlandse Hoger Onderwijs Termen in het Engels' [Nuffic, 1994] renders bestuurlijke informatie*kunde* as 'Introduction to Information Management and Auditing' and describes it as follows: Study of the use of computers in organizations. Training for designing and operating computerized information systems and for working with the systems' users. It further adds the indication WO [Economie], WO, of course, standing for 'wetenschappelijk onderwijs'. Further, I don't think there would a significant distinction between 'informatievoorziening' and 'informatiekunde' in this context.
