Abstract

Informations necessary for the leading cadres can be divided into four groups: planning, statistical, political and sociological and finally scientific and technical informations. These kinds of informations, however, cannot be separated. Close co-operation has been established between the Scientific and Technical Ministry and the ZIID on the scientific and technical information of leaders. Special responsibility rests on the ZIID because its task lies not only in adopting the scientific and technical information to the system of management information but also in transferring the new technical results orientating and integrating the conceptions of leaders. In order to achieve this the management information must primarily be timely, scientific and clear.
Information of leaders consists first of all of the Central Information Studies and of the Initiative Informations. According to the opinions of leaders the informations supplied are very useful and they are permanently used as well. The leaders have made several proposals on the compiling the studies.
Although only a few orders have arrived from the information receivers designated by the Scientific and Technical Ministry, the demand for establishing a central bank of informations has arised.
The organization work for building up a network of correspondents started in 1971. It actually means an active contact and co-operation between the experts. In addition, the ZIID also co-operates with several professional centrals. Informations or information publications received from these centrals are suitably worked over before transferring to the leaders.
