EFFICIENCY OF INFORMATION MANAGEMENT BASED ON LONGITUDINAL EXAMINATION OF HUNGARIAN AGRICULTURE ENTERPRISES

Abstract

Although there is no agricultural crisis, the financial crisis has an impact on the agricultural sector. The challenges the agriculture faces are partly determined by the effects of the crisis. The competition is fierce; therefore there is a need for continuous development in order to improve competitiveness. One way to do this is to make in-depth analysis based on experience from the recent years, thus, manage available information to enable drawing effective conclusions. In our study we applied longitudinal analysis with the purpose of capturing and tracking changes relevant to our research. Theoretically it is important to use longitudinal data collection, because it can capture the individual changes of the analysed objects, the stability or volatility of the development may be demonstrated through collecting the input data on several occasions. In order to successfully implement this, it is vital to have appropriate information management in place.
