INTERDISCIPLINARITY BETWEEN INFORMATION SCIENCE AND MANAGEMENT SCIENCE IN BRAZIL: A LITERATURE REVIEW

ABSTRACT

This is a literature review study resulted of a bibliographic survey on the scientific production on the interdisciplinarity between information science and administrative science in Brazil. The goal is to identify aspects of scientific literature on the interdisciplinarity between both scientific fields. The following databases were used for the search: ABCDM, BRAPCI, BDTD, SPELL, ANPAD website, Scielo and Google Scholar, which jointly identified 10 works, namely: two theses, a dissertation, four ENANCIB papers and three articles from distinct journals. The papers analyzed refer to information as the link between the two scientific fields (Information Science and Administrative Science), and competitive intelligence and knowledge management as motivators of interdisciplinarity. The existing literature on the subject is scarce and focused on defining the intersection between Information Science and Administrative Science. The recovered works reveal that the study on interdisciplinary relations is an important tool for understanding Information Science as a science, as well as its characteristics and scope.
