PONJUAN DANTE, Gloria  and  THOMAS CUNI, Claudia. Evolution of Academic Studies on Knowledge Management and the Effect on Cuban Organizations. Rev. cuba. inf. cienc. salud [online]. 2023, vol.34  Epub Oct 15, 2023. ISSN 2307-2113.

An analysis of the academic research on Knowledge Management developed by the Faculty of Communication of the University of Havana was carried out, at the diploma, master's and doctoral levels, from 2000 to 2020 with the objective of assessing the situation of this field of studies. To this end, certain variables were defined, such as: topics and subtopics covered, tutors who guided the investigations, and stages of the studies. The digital versions of the theses were used, since there was no access to the originals due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation. Documentary analysis and the questionnaire were the methods used. The questionnaire was applied to a group of Cuban institutions that introduced this process in their management in order to assess the effect on their work. From the results, the most productive topics at each level were specified and the main tutors who assumed the investigations were identified. These theses have had, as their object of study, central organizations and their dependencies, research institutes, productive companies of national subordination and specialized centers in information services. The aspects analyzed in this study reflect the effort developed over more than 20 years to fully understand Knowledge Management approaches and to obtain better results in decision-making, innovation and professional development.

Keywords : knowledge management; undergraduate thesis; postgraduate thesis, organizational scenarios.
