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's schedule has entered the twenty-first century, and information has become the fourth largest element of national and social production activities. In the information society and knowledge economy, how a government regulates the generation, collection, circulation and management of its regional information 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 what they follow and make good use of it; and in fact, information policies have become increasingly valued by various countries, and have been implemented in relevant regulations and regulations. Especially since the last century-old public management (NPM) administrative reform in the 1980s, how to implement public governance has become a major subject, and this course will be discussed in depth.
