Evolution of information management studies and their effect on Cuban organizations
Keywords:
information management, academic research, impact on Cuban organizations.Abstract
An analysis was performed of the academic research studies about Information Management conducted at the School of Communication of the University of Havana as diploma, master's and PhD theses in the period 1993-2019 with the purpose of assessing the subtopics dealt with, the supervisors overseeing the research and the stages into which the studies were structured. Digital versions were used, since the originals were not available due to the situation posed by the COVID pandemic. The methods used were document analysis and questionnaire. A questionnaire was applied to a group of Cuban institutions which had incorporated this process into their management to evaluate its effect on daily activities. Results include determination of the most productive topics on each level and identification of the supervisors overseeing them. The objects of study of these theses were central government agencies and their branches, research institutes, national subordination production enterprises and centers specializing in information services. Of the total institutions surveyed, 66% had been analyzed in undergraduate and graduate theses, bringing to light the effect of those theses on the development of this function on an institutional level. The contents analyzed in this study reflect the effort made for more than 25 years to broaden knowledge about these information management approaches and obtain better results in the area of decision making and the use of information in organizational processes.
