Abstract

[fre] Lors du colloque sur « l'information économique et statistique pour les entreprises » qui s'est tenu à Paris les 24 et 25 mai derniers, les dirigeants et économistes d'entreprise sont venus débattre avec les statisticiens de leurs besoins en matière de données quantitatives. Trois thèmes avaient été retenus : les statistiques utiles à la prévision à court terme, les données nécessaires aux décisions stratégiques et enfin les informations sur l'étranger. Certes des préoccupations déjà reconnues au sein du Conseil national de la statistique ont été de nouveau exprimées : l'amélioration de la connaissance des stocks, des conditions de vie des ménages, ou du parc de biens durables sont ainsi des souhaits fréquemment renouvelés. Mais c'est surtout l'importance exceptionnelle accordée aux informations sur l'étranger qui retient l'attention. L'appétit en ce domaine est immense et fort varié, le quantitatif se mêlant au qualitatif. Autre leçon de ce colloque, le besoin quasi-unanime d'une meilleure « information sur l'information ». Chacun, toutefois, devait s'accorder à reconnaître que les progrès attendus et la réalisation des désirs dépendaient largement de la coopération qui s'instaurerait entre les administrations et lesdites entreprises. [spa] El coloquio sobre la información económica y las estadisticas para las empresas Paris, 24 y 25 de mayo de 1978 - Estos cuatros articulos ofrecen un informe relativo al coloquio cuyo objeto era la información económica y estadistica para las empresas. Tres temas fueron escogidos para facilitar la preparacíon : . — ¿Cuales son las estadisticas utiles para la prevision a corto plazo? . — ¿ De que datos necesitan las decisiones a medio o largo plazo? . — ¿ Las informaciones internacionales requeridas para las empresas que desean exportar. Los deseos ya expresados en el Consejo Nacional de la Estadistica (Conseil national de la statistique) fueron repetidos otra vez : sea, conocer mejor los stocks, las condiciones de vida de hogares, la importancia de los bienes durables utilizados... Pero lo que llama más la atención es la demanda para datos sobre los paises extranjeros; en este campo las necesidades son largas y varias. En fin, cada uno se dió cuenta de que era dificil progresar sin una coperación franca entre administradones públicas y dirigentes de empresas. [eng] The Conference on Economie and Statistical Information for Corporations, may 24 and 25, 1978 - The Conference on Economie and Statistical Information for Corporations held in Paris last May 24 and 25 provided a forum in which the management and economic consultants of a number of firms could meet with statisticians and discuss their needs in the field of quantitative data. Three points were focussed upon : statistics useful for short-term forecasts; data required for strategic decisions; and, lastly, information about foreign markets. In addition, there was a renewed discussion of those areas which the Conseil National de la Statistique (The National Board of Statistics) has found to be of greatest concern to firms, particularly regarding a widely felt need for a better knowledge of the state of inventory, standards of living of households, and statistics about the use of household appliances and industrial equipment. However, the most striking feature of the conference was the interest shown in information about foreign markets. Here, the demand for data proved to be enormous and extremely varied both quantitatively and qualitatively. Also, there was an overwhelming consensus among participants about the need for bettering the state of « information about information ». All concerned were in agreement that closer co-operation between corporations and gover- nement agencies is essential if real progress is to be made.
