The principle of the conformity of the department's discipline with the advanced achievements of the information science and technology, as well as practical achievements in the field of the implementation of information technologies in the economy is one of the underlying principles of the Department's work. While sticking to this principle, the Department formulated new conceptual foundations of its future development reflected not only in the new name of the Information Management Department (since 1993), but, first of all, in the new specialisation for economic cybernetics specialists under the master programme in Information Management. The programme was opened for all forms of study starting from academic year 1995/1996.

More than 400 qualified information management specialists, who work for various industries and state authorities, have been trained over the period of existence of the master programme using all forms of study.

The Department pays a lot of attention to the research work and the implementation of its results into the teaching process and the practical testing of such results at objects of various sectors of the economy.
