Abstract

The present research was elaborated with the objective of determining the relationship between strategic management and the library's digital platform. For this research, an applied study methodology was used, with quantitative approach and non-experimental design of transversal type with correlational scope since the variables will not be manipulated and will be analyzed in their natural state and the analysis will be carried out in a determined time, in addition the sample consisted of 30 students of an
institute, also two questionnaires were used as instruments for each of the variables of the study. The result indicates that, 7.5 % thought that strategic management never exists, while 72.5 % thought that almost never, 10.0 % sometimes and 10.0 % always. In addition, the relationship between strategic management and the digital platform in relation to Spearman's Rho test, by obtaining a (Sig= 0.002 < 0.05), shows that the variables have a positive correlation average of 0.471 Concluding that, if the strategic management presents improvements in its processes, the digital platform will also improve in the same direction and magnitude which leads to a significant relationship between the two variables.
