Abstract:

In the knowledge-based society, it is not possible to take decisions effectively without being able to search, access and process information. Information literacy is crucial for many management positions. Therefore, current requirements on the information literacy represent an integral part of managers' qualifications at various levels of management. The information literacy, among other things, reduces the level of risk and other negative phenomena because proper evaluation of information leads to their early elimination. This paper presents partial results of a survey aimed at the managers' information literacy in the Slovak Republic and the effect of the levels of management on the aggregate index of managers' information literacy.
