Information use and preferences: Insights from Italian regional politicians

Abstract

IMPACTThis article sheds light on how politicians in Italian regional governments use different information types in their activities. The authors’ findings show that macroeconomic and socio-economic information (M&SI) is being used to guide planning and policy formulation, performance information (PI) is used for evaluating results and accounting/financial information (AFI) supports resource management. Preferences varied according to education, age, background and political role. This means that information producers and accounting staff should avoid a standardized approach and, instead, tailor information, adapting sharing modes, formats and content to the roles and profiles of politicians.
