there also appears the question how to manage/
master entangled phenomena as economically as
possible and, at the same time, successfully - ef-
fectively and efficiently.
What are both theoretical and practical issues
of entanglement? We are more interested in the
process than in the structure and in
holism
of
consideration than in its partiality (one-sidedness).
The entanglement has been increasing since
the existence of life on earth. However, one also
knows of the need for a more detailed consideration
of entanglement. If one does not consider both
synergies and details, one risks oversimplification
and important oversights, as a result, which may
cause entangled consequences.
We can hardly choose between levels of
entanglement of reality. The choice we have is
rather between the entanglement of consideration
/ investigation / management of reality and the
entanglement of their consequences. It is probably
logical to find it more beneficial to devote most of
our attention to the phenomena of entanglement
in order to avoid complicated and/or complex
consequences:
tures and synergies from their components
alone. Their structure is formed by a num-
ber of different types, varieties and forms
of relations between the components inside
the systems and with their environment.
The greater is the variety of relations, the
higher is also the level of complexity and
vice versa. Synergies are central and criti-
cal. Attributes of components are found
less important.
Both entanglements exist in reality, of course.
There can, therefore, be a number of their various
contents. A similar conclusion holds of the vari-
ants concerning the level of entanglement of both
types which is, very often, bigger in reality than
in a usual consideration (also in a scientific one).
When examining the phenomena, the following
can be achieved, hence: (in one extreme) totality,
(in the other extreme) zero-level, or (between both
extremes) a requisite level, of consideration of
characteristics of phenomena. It all depends on
our selection of a viewpoint / viewpoints / system
or network of viewpoints / dialectical system of
all essential and only essential viewpoints.
In our consideration of entanglement, we ad-
ditionally encounter the problems of how to define
a requisite entanglement of our examination. But
this issue exceeds frames of this contribution.
How do discussed characteristics impact
consideration of
reliability of information
in
the case of business information?

When we discuss the details concerning
an individual component of an entity un-
der investigation, then we can talk about
the entanglement of the type complicated-
ness. It can also be defined as the entangle-
ment based of the characteristics of the
components and present a part of the real
characteristics of phenomena, which have
different components / parts. The greater
is the variety of components, the higher is
also the level of complicatedness and vice
versa. Synergies do not count.
reLiAbiLitY of inforMAtion
Failure to inform depends on more entangled
processes than the ones offered as their first and,
of course, simplified approximation quoted by
Eli B. Cohen, and aimed at provoking our think-
ing (Cohen, 2002; see also Tichy, Cohen, 2002;
McLeod, Schell, 2003; Laudon et al., 2007) in
his topic. We used Cohen's topic as a base for
our discussion, but his cognitions are very similar

With concentration on the characteristics,
which result from mutual influences be-
tween the components of an entity (and
their background - basically their interde-
pendence) we deal with the entanglement
called complexity. It shows the character-
istics of phenomena, which differ in struc-
