INTRODUCTION

Information management, understood as the systematic process of identifying, collecting, organizing, storing, retrieving, analyzing, and distributing information, has emerged as a fundamental discipline for the success of organizations in an increasingly competitive and dynamic environment.

Information management can be defined as the set of practices, policies, technologies, and strategies that enable an organization to manage its information resources efficiently and effectively. This process includes activities such as data collection, organization and classification, secure storage, rapid and accurate retrieval, and distribution to the appropriate users at the right time (Nonato et al., 2023).

The scope of information management is broad and encompasses multiple dimensions. First, it includes technical aspects, such as the design and implementation of information systems, databases, and analytical tools. Second, it involves organizational aspects, such as the definition of policies and procedures for information management, staff training, and the assignment of responsibilities. Finally, it also encompasses ethical and legal aspects, such as the protection of personal data, privacy, and information security.

The importance of information management in organizations is evident at multiple levels. At the strategic level, it enables companies to identify market opportunities, anticipate trends, and make informed decisions based on concrete data.

At the operational level, it contributes to process optimization, cost reduction, and improved efficiency. At the tactical level, it facilitates coordination between departments, collaboration among teams, and the management of organizational knowledge.

Furthermore, information management plays a key role in the digital transformation of organizations. In a world where technology is changing rapidly, companies must adapt to new ways of working, communicating, and competing.

Information management provides the foundation for this transformation, enabling organizations to capitalize on the opportunities offered by technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, the cloud, and the Internet of Things.

Despite its importance, it is not without challenges, chief among them the growing volume of data, which makes it difficult to organize and analyze. Another challenge is the quality of information, as incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated data can lead to erroneous decisions (Redman, 2008). Furthermore, information security is a constant concern, especially in a context where cyberattacks and data breaches are becoming increasingly frequent.

In an era of digital contradictions, information circulates at unprecedented speeds and generates unprecedented opportunities, yet it also widens social and economic divides, threatening to further fragment humanity. In this context, this analysis explores the main issues arising from information management in the 21st century and proposes pathways to build a more just and inclusive informational ecosystem.

Information management reproduces and amplifies historical geopolitical inequalities. With 92% of data centers located in developed countries (IBM, 2023), a form of "data colonialism" is taking hold, in which entire nations are technologically dependent on foreign powers. Technological wars (such as sanctions against Huawei) and fragmented regulation (with countries serving as "data havens") further complicate the landscape, requiring global governance frameworks that prevent new forms of domination.

Building a more equitable digital future requires reorienting information management toward human-centered principles, where technology serves to empower rather than exclude. This implies, first, closing the gaps through real not merely nominal access to technology and the development of critical skills; second, designing new social contracts that protect fundamental rights in the digital economy; third, fostering cooperative global governance that counteracts data colonialism; and, finally, prioritizing ethic s and technologies that measure success in terms of human well-being, not solely profits.

The fundamental challenge is not technical, but civilizational: managing information not as an end in itself, but as a tool to build more just societies, where knowledge empowers everyone equally. The quality of the collective response to these challenges will define the kind of digital future that future generations will inherit.

At the heart of the contemporary digital economy, knowledge management has emerged as a paradoxical phenomenon that simultaneously generates unprecedented opportunities and deep structural inequalities. This comprehensive analysis unravels the complex web of social and economic challenges that arise when knowledge that intangible yet fundamental resource becomes the object of institutionalized management systems, while identifying paths toward more equitable and sustainable models.

Cognitive capitalism has created new forms of power concentration. Globally, patenting activity is highly concentrated: in 2023, just five countries (China, the United States, Japan, South Korea, and Germany) accounted for 84.3% of all global patent applications (WIPO, 2024). This geographic concentration of knowledge widens existing gaps. At the same time, the emigration of skilled professionals the so-called "brain drain" imposes substantial costs on developing countries. For example, the migration of doctors from Sub-Saharan African countries alone costs the region more than $2 billion annually in lost educational investment (IOM, 2024), a figure that highlights how talent trained in the poorest nations ultimately benefits advanced economies.

The solution does not lie in rejecting knowledge management systems, but in radically transforming them: by decommodifying essential knowledge, democratizing access to cognitive tools, valuing epistemic diversity, and, above all, reaffirming that knowledge in all its forms must serve collective human flourishing rather than private accumulation.

In this civilizational challenge, the quality of the collective response will determine whether knowledge management becomes an instrument of emancipation or a new form of domination for the 21st century.

In the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, data management has become a complex phenomenon that presents both transformative opportunities and profound socioeconomic challenges.

This comprehensive analysis examines the dual nature of data management as both a driver of progress and a source of structural inequalities, exploring its economic, social, political, and ethical dimensions.

The current scenery is characterized by an alarming concentration of digital power. This digital oligopoly has created an ecosystem where large platforms accumulate insurmountable competitive advantages through network effects, generating barriers to entry that stifle innovation and competition. The business model based on the extraction and monetization of personal data has reached astronomical proportions, with annual revenues exceeding $500 billion in behavioral advertising. This extractive economy operates through sophisticated value-capture mechanisms, where users generate valuable data that is monetized without fair compensation, creating what some scholars have termed "unpaid digital labor."

At the organizational level, the problem of silos persists as a critical challenge: 85% of companies report significant difficulties in integrating data across departments. These operational inefficiencies are exacerbated by the rising costs of regulatory non-compliance, as fines for violations of the General Data Protection Regulation exceeded 4 billion euros in 2023. However, the deepest imbalances transcend the corporate sphere and reveal profound global asymmetries in access to and control over digital resources. While Nordic countries enjoy 5G penetration exceeding 90%, in Sub-Saharan Africa it barely reaches 6%, drastically limiting these nations' ability to fully participate in the digital economy.

This unequal distribution reinforces patterns of technological dependency where countries in the Global South generate valuable data on climate patterns, biodiversity, or demographic behaviors that is subsequently monetized by foreign corporations without an equitable return for the communities of origin. Beyond the economic consequences, data management poses complex social problems that threaten the very foundations of democratic societies. Mass surveillance systems, exemplified by China's controversial social credit system, have normalized data collection.

Information management in Cuba has evolved significantly in recent decades (Ponjuán Dante, 2014), becoming a fundamental pillar for the country's business and institutional development.

The history of information management in Cuba can be divided into four clearly distinct stages. In the pre-revolutionary phase (19501959), information systems were rudimentary and elitist, limited mainly to physical archives with restricted access (Rodríguez Cruz, 2015).

The Triumph of the Revolution brought about a radical change, with a model of state centralization of information established between 1960 and 1989, notably marked by the creation of the Institute of Scientific and Technical Documentation and Information in 1963 as the governing body.

The Special Period (19902000) represented a crucial moment, when technological and economic constraints forced the development of innovative solutions with limited resources. It was in this context that Decree-Law 187/1998 was enacted, marking the beginning of systematic efforts to modernize information management in the business sector.

From 2001 to the present, Cuba has transitioned into the digital age, adopting advanced technologies in strategic companies such as BioCubaFarma, although this progress has always been constrained by the economic blockade. Cuban studies on information management have developed their own conceptualizations adapted to the national context, viewing information management as a comprehensive strategic process that ranges from data capture to its transformation into useful knowledge for decision-making (Ponjuán Dante, 2014). This perspective emphasizes the interrelationship between human, technological, and organizational components.

The theoretical models applied in Cuba present interesting particularities. For example, the adaptation of the DeLone and McLean (2003) model by Cuban researchers incorporated the "geopolitical context" variable, thereby recognizing the specific impact of the blockade on information systems. Likewise, resource and capability theory has been used to analyze how Cuban institutions optimize their limited technological resources.

In the Cuban state-owned business sector, notable examples include the CIMEX Corporation (Domestic Trade, Foreign Market), which implemented an integrated enterprise resource planning systema tool known as ERP, though the acronym is not used here and achieved tangible results in optimizing its supply chain. Similarly, the AZCUBA Sugar Group (Azúcar de Cuba) developed an information management system for the sugar agroindustry that incorporates predictive analytics, demonstrating how these tools can be applied even in traditional sectors (Díaz, 2022).

The achievements in information management are undeniable, particularly in sectors such as health, with the INFOMED system (Cuban Health Information Network), and higher education, with the master's degree in information management at the University of Havana. However, significant challenges remain, mainly related to technological obsolescence and legal restrictions on the importation of equipment.

The future of information management in Cuba appears to be moving in four main directions: first, further development of national solutions based on open-source software; second, the integration of emerging technologies such as big data; third, the strengthening of human capacity through training programs; and fourth, the adaptation of legal frameworks to facilitate technological modernization.

The Cuban experience is a prime example of how a developing country, even under adverse circumstances, can transform its limitations into opportunities for innovation. This progress demonstrates that technological development is not exclusive to nations with abundant economic resources, but can be achieved through political will, creative strategies, and precise adaptation to the local context. The lessons learned in informational resilience and adaptation to restrictive environments offer a valuable reference model for other nations facing similar challenges.

A particularly valuable aspect is the adaptation of international theories and models to the country's specific conditions. The incorporation of variables such as the "geopolitical context" into information management models not only reflects scientific realism but also constitutes a significant methodological contribution for other countries facing similar situations.

These theoretical adaptations have enabled the development of effective practical tools, such as the systems implemented at CIMEX and AZCUBA, which combine advanced technologies with a deep understanding of Cuban organizational needs.

The lessons emerging from the Cuban experience are numerous and valuable:

  1. Technological resilience: Cuba has demonstrated that it is possible to develop robust information systems even with limited resources, prioritizing efficiency over ostentatious technological deployment (Laudon & Laudon, 2020).
  2. Capacity building: The success of Cuban initiatives underscores the importance of investing in human capital. The creation of specialized academic programs has been key to sustaining long-term development.
  3. Technological sovereignty: The emphasis on domestic solutions and open-source software offers an alternative model of technological development that is less dependent on large international corporations.
  4. Organizational adaptability: The case studies show how Cuban institutions have managed to modify their structures and processes to make the most of new information technologies.

However, there is still a long way to go. The main future challenges include upgrading technological infrastructure, making regulatory frameworks more flexible, and further integrating small and medium-sized enterprises into national information systems. The growing importance of technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data presents both opportunities and new challenges for Cuban information management.

In today's global context, where information has become a strategic resource, the Cuban experience offers valuable insights into how countries can develop their own models of information management that address their specific needs without sacrificing their sovereign principles.

The balance between international openness and endogenous development, between technological innovation and adaptation to the local context, is perhaps the most relevant lesson emerging from this analysis.

Finally, the Cuban case invites reflection on the very nature of information management. Beyond technical aspects, it demonstrates how information systems are, in essence, social constructs that reflect the values, priorities, and capabilities of each society. This humanistic understanding of technology, so evident in the Cuban approach, could inspire new paradigms in the field of information management.

In today's business environment, characterized by increasingly complex supply chains, growing volumes of data, and regulatory requirements regarding traceability and security, information management tools are no longer a luxury but a strategic necessity. Companies lacking integrated systems to capture, process, and distribute timely and reliable information face operational inefficiencies, financial losses, and difficulties competing in dynamic markets.

The agri-food sector, in particular, requires solutions tailored to its specific needs: control of perishable inventories, batch management, compliance with health standards, and agile response to fluctuations in demand. Although there are successful examples in other sectors, such as those implemented at CIMEX or AZCUBA, there remains a lack of tools designed specifically for small and medium-sized agri-food enterprises, especially in contexts with limited resources. Therefore, it is necessary to delve deeper into the study and design of practical tools that enable the optimization of information management in this type of organization, taking into account both their technological limitations and their endogenous potential. Within this framework, the objective of this research is to design an action plan to optimize information management in an agri-food company.

 

MATERIALS AND METHODS

The dialectical-materialist method serves as the foundation, as it is the most significant method that cuts across all others. This method facilitated the analysis of the research subject in various contexts. Furthermore, it enabled the identification of the contradictory elements that underpin the rationale of the proposal.

Among the theoretical methods used are the historical and logical methods, to conduct a historical analysis of the evolution of the different concepts that relate the development and application of Information Management for decision-making in the business environment

The systemic method was employed with the aim of reaching conclusions that integrate the close relationship between information systems and knowledge management with the business management process and decision-making in the various organizational subsystems.

Among the empirical methods used is the measurement method, applied through the questionnaire technique which included interviews and surveys to obtain primary information on the current state of an agri-food company regarding information management.

The axiomatic-deductive method was used to develop logical reasoning that allows us to arrive at general conclusions tailored to our context, based on experiences reflected in the scientific literature and prior studies on these topics in the business sector and at the institutional level, in line with the changes currently taking place in the country.

 

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Primary and secondary information sources were used, which supported the scientific research methods and techniques that enabled us to diagnose the current state of the process under study. Regarding secondary sources, their determination involved identifying a general environment, defined as the set of essential relationships that manifest at the agri-food company level.

Following a detailed review of the institutional documents of this type of company, certain aspects detrimental to Information Management were identified, as listed below:

In general, after processing the surveys and observations conducted in the different areas, it can be stated that some employees feel they do not receive sufficient information from the companies. This indicates that the transmission of information should not be concentrated in just a few areas, but rather that each manager must play their part in directing the flow of information.

Below is a summary of the main findings of the diagnosis of information management in agri-food companies:

  1. Perception of Information Problems
  2. Timeliness and Information Flows
  3. Communication Channels and Forums
  4. Organizational Climate and Training

The diagnosis reveals that information management is largely ad hoc, with a marked lack of formal procedures and training, which leads to misinformation and reliance on informal channels among the workforce.

Based on the diagnosis conducted using empirical methods (questionnaires, interviews, and surveys) and a systemic analysis of the relationships between information systems, knowledge management, and business management processes, significant deficiencies were identified in the information management of companies in the agri-food sector.

The evidence gathered shows that, while there is widespread recognition of information deficiencies among both employees (88%) and managers (53%), there remains a lack of specific training on the subject and a reliance on informal communication channels. Furthermore, the underutilization of digital infrastructure and the absence of an information management strategy aligned with the business management system confirm the need for structural intervention.

Note: Prepared by the authors based on the institutional diagnosis of agri-food companies

The action plan proposed for implementation corresponds to the existing patterns identified by the authors through the triangulation of information obtained from the primary and secondary sources used in the characterization.

The implementation of the proposed action plan represents a comprehensive and systematic roadmap for transforming information management in agri-food companies. Through a rigorous diagnosis, the establishment of quality-based objectives, the implementation of appropriate technological tools, the development of clear policies, staff training, and the establishment of a continuous monitoring system, the foundations for a true information culture are laid. This comprehensive approach will not only improve operational efficiency and decision-making but will also position the organization to face the challenges of a competitive business environment with greater capabilities. The sustainability of the system will be guaranteed by the evaluation and continuous improvement mechanisms incorporated into the plan, ensuring that information management becomes a lasting strategic asset for the company.

The evidence gathered shows that, while there is widespread recognition of information deficiencies among both employees and managers, there remains a lack of specific training on the subject and a reliance on informal communication channels. Furthermore, the underutilization of digital infrastructure and the absence of an information management strategy aligned with the business management system confirm the need for structural intervention.

Given this situation, it is imperative to establish a framework for action that transforms these weaknesses into opportunities for improvement. Therefore, with the aim of optimizing internal processes and facilitating systemic and integrated communication, it is proposed a strategic action plan designed to strengthen the pillars of information management within the organization.
