Management of open government in public institutions: a literature review

Abstract

The management of open government constitutes the key to achieve transparency and trust of the population in public institutions, which prevents the information generated from being used permanently and safely; facilitating knowledge of the actions that public management has been developing. The objective is to examine and analyze the existing scientific evidence regarding the management of open government in public institutions, using the EBSCO, SCOPUS and SCIENCE DIRECT databases in English and Spanish for the last four years, using the term “open government management”, discarding articles that are not refereed and academic. Having as results that to make management transparent in public institutions, new paradigms must be developed in the management of open government, starting with actions to improve the generation of information for its use by the population, in different actions of a social or economic nature, without biasing the information, restricting it to the use of the public institution. It concludes by noting that for efficient and effective open government management, we must take into account the challenges of transparent management with the use of open data for the use and benefit of the population, making transparent the actions and resources that the public administration invests.
