Abstract :
- A number of studies in information systems
propose frameworks for addressing envisaged research
problems. These frameworks are instrumental in
supporting or guiding action in different contexts. It is in
rare cases that such frameworks are evaluated to
establish their applicability and suitability to the
community of practice. This makes such frameworks
unusable and redundant amidst the environments for
which they are developed. This paper attempts to
evaluate a framework for information management in eagriculture. This framework was proposed by
Mugejjera, (2022). A quantitative approach was adopted
for this study. Evaluation of this framework was based
on expert opinion taking a common criterion focusing on
Goal, Environment, Activity and Evolution. A total of 44
experts in information management in the field of eagriculture was taken. Results show that the framework
is composed of the following factors: (i) People and
Technology; (ii) Funding, Processes, and Regulations;
(iii) Information use outcomes and continuity. The
factors labelled (i) and (ii) influence (iii). The framework
was found to be valid, reliable and useful in supporting
the management of information (agricultural advisory
information) in e-agriculture.
