Abstract:
Topicality of modeling information transparency is determined by the
influence it has on the effectiveness of management decisions made by an
economic entity in the context of uncertainty and information asymmetry. It has
been found that information transparency is a poorly structured category which
acts as a qualitative characteristic of information and at certain levels forms an
additional spectrum of properties of the information that has been adequately
perceived or processed. As a result of structuring knowledge about the factor
environment, a fuzzy cognitive model of information transparency was
constructed in the form of a weighted digraph. Structural analysis and scenario
forecasting of optimal alternatives of the fuzzy cognitive model made it possible
to evaluate the classes of factors, identify their limited relations, establish the
centrality of the roles of information transparency and information and
communication security in the system built and evaluate their importance when
modeling the situation self-development. Information visibility, reliability and
availability have been found to have the strongest impact on the system. Taking
into account different initial weights of the key factors — information
transparency and information and communication security — the study
substantiates the strategic ways for economic entities to achieve their goals in the
context of uncertainty and information asymmetry, which allows us to use this
approach as a tool for strategic management in the information environment.
