Abstract :
The enterprise is an open system, so according to the second law of thermodynamics and the dissipative structure theory, the enterprise has to require an influx of negative entropy from external sources by exchanging substances, energy and information with its external environment in order to become a system with low entropy. Negative entropy principle indicates information is negative entropy what suggests the enterprise should obtain more and more information from outside. But the fact does not support this principle, for example, information overburden has been a serious issue for the enterprise to deal with. This paper demonstrates the irrationality of negative entropy principle base on the basic definition of information entropy, and proves the possibility of information is positive entropy. The purpose of this paper is to make the enterprise pay much more attention to the management of information resources.
