What can be facilitated with the emerging interdisciplinary approach, which crosses the fieldsof InformationSciences, Business Sciences and other sciences. The problem is that, in addition to being a new construct and still little studied, conceptual divergences are fed by the amplitude of the possible dimensions of analysis. In this context, the objective of this study arises in identifying the conceptualization of the construct of the value of economic information proposed in the scientific literature to support its better understanding and prospect of future investigations. A theoretical research was carried out through a systematic literature review, followed by an analysis of the most relevant publications on the subject. The discussion on the relevant construct is considered in the context of contemporary organizations, however, it signals the importance of future studies of empirical and theoretical order, to foster discussions, on the subject today.
