“…It is about seeing administration perhaps as it has always been, a science of practices, interdisciplinary, "a science that is carried out in the various laboratories of life" and, therefore, "an essential science in the process of instituting and transforming realities" (Alperstedt & Andion, 2017, p. 628, our translation) and to respond to the challenges of our time. Such a conception of administration science, as Bispo (2022a) proposes, could be at the heart of what we understand about 'contemporary administration,' which has been valued in RAC's editorial policy and discussed in other of its editorials, as mentioned before (Bispo, 2022a(Bispo, , 2023Motta, 2022). For Bispo (2022a), it is about the ability to understand and respond to the contemporary challenges, which is not just what is new, but what emerges "from a historical process that helps us to recognize the present" (Bispo, 2022a, p. 2, our translation), and allows us to pose relevant questions permeating our realities.…”
