自古至今，人類使用土地、資本、及勞力以從事各類生產活動。今日時序已邁入二十一世紀，資訊已然成為國家及社會生產活動的第四大要素。在資訊社會與知識經濟中，一國政府如何規範其統轄地區資訊之產生、收集、流通和管理，將直接影響個人、組織、國家的競爭力；因此，政府以其統治者的角色，須訂立一套用以規範資訊活動的策略和架構，以使人民知所遵循並善加利用；而事實上資訊政策已日漸為各國所重視，而紛紛有相關規章之立法和措施之採行。尤其是上一個世紀八十年代心公共管理(NPM)行政改革以來，於公共治理上課責如何落實即成為重大課題，本課程將會深入探討。

Since ancient times, humans have used land, capital, and labor to engage in various production activities. Today has entered the 21st century, and information has become the fourth major element in national and social production activities. In the information society and knowledge economy, how a country's government regulates the generation, collection, circulation and management of information in the areas under its jurisdiction will directly affect the competitiveness of individuals, organizations and countries. Therefore, the government, in its role as a ruler, must establish a set of strategies and structures to regulate information activities so that the people know how to follow them and make good use of them. In fact, information policy has been increasingly valued by various countries, and relevant regulations and legislation and measures have been adopted one after another. Especially since the administrative reform of National Public Management (NPM) in the 1980s, how to implement school responsibilities in public governance has become a major issue, which this course will explore in depth.
