Abstract

Organizations are experiencing the complexity of management due to the large volume of information and requirement for rapid responses that require continuous and taken more assertive decisions. Thus, the use of technologies and systems, although essential for any organization by itself does not guarantee the achievement of competitive advantage if there is a direct relationship between its adoption and achieving results. In this context, we discuss the following issues of research: the decisions of the Integrated Faculties of the Central Plateau of the Educational Union - Faciplac / DF are supported by which information systems? Under this approach, the rationale for the research is the importance that information has for decision making in a Higher Education Institution (HEI) - the International College of the Central Plateau of the Educational Union (Faciplac / DF) so that such decisions can make the organization more competitive in the industry in which it operates. The aim of the present study is to analyze the management of information in decision-making in the Integrated College of Central Plateau Educational Union (Faciplac / DF). The methodology was the descriptive research with methodological approach qualitative and quantitative, that is, mixed and field research, to be developed in situ, using as an interview tool. The data collection technique was performed by using a form structured to research, conducted interviews and direct observations. The results point to the information management model in the institution and allows us to understand the mechanisms for decision-making.
