Abstract

In recent decades, Information Management has consolidated itself as an area of knowledge that supports organizations, and strategic planning has gained strength as a tool to support organizational processes and decisions. In view of this, this research aimed to analyze how these concepts are simultaneously related within small and medium-sized companies by means of a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). The SLR was produced from 22 articles collected from the Scopus and Web of Science databases, which were published at events or congresses between 1999 and 2022. The results found through the SLR highlight the fact that Brazilian small and medium-sized companies face challenges in common with companies of the same size found in other parts of the world. The research results also indicate the impact of information management and strategic planning within organizations that adopt these tools.
