A Criação Do Curso Superior Em Administração Na Ufrgs Em 1963: Uma Análise Histórica

Abstract

A criação do curso superior em Administração na UFRGS em 1963: Uma análise histórica La creación del curso superior de Administración en la UFRGS en 1963: Un análisis histórico ABSTRACT This paper aims to analyze how the "Americanization" of management education took place in practice in Brazil. In doing so, we focus on one of the most important management courses in Brazil that has not yet been analyzed by previous researchers. This paper focusses on documents of the communications between American academics at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul [UFRGS]) and their supervisors, who also worked on the bilateral agreement between Brazil and the United States. This agreement aimed to expand management higher education in Brazil, and relevant progress reports were located in the archives of Michigan State University. In analyzing these documents, we demonstrate the development of UFRGS management courses between the year in which the institution signed the cooperation agreement (1959) and the course approval year by educational authorities. (1963). This period was chosen because it helps to clearly explain the reasons that led to the delay in the implementation of courses at UFRGS, as well as the actions of representatives of the institutions in this period. Our analysis describes the course's development but also reflects on the difficulties that faced the establishment of management higher education in Brazil. We found that the lack of legislation regulating the course and also the administration profession served as the justification for barring the undergraduate course at UFGRS. We also point out several difficulties that had to be overcome for the undergraduate programs to settle from 1963 onwards.KEYWORDS | Americanization, history of Administration, history of the Brazilian courses in Administra tion, organizations and history, historiography. RESUMOO artigo aborda a história e a Administração, e apresenta elementos sobre o desenvolvimento de uma escola específica, o que permite olhar com mais minúcia para a forma como a "americanização" da Administração se desenvolveu na prática. Análises históricas foram realizadas a respeito dos cursos de Administração da FGV EAESP, UFBA e UFMG, e este texto preenche a lacuna de falta de análises de um dos cursos mais importantes do Brasil, o da UFRGS. Analisamos os documentos inéditos oriundos da comunicação entre professores estadunidenses na UFRGS e seus supervisores, que também atuavam no acordo bilateral entre Brasil e EUA, documentos que não foram objeto de análise anterior. Discutimos o desenvolvimento dos cursos de Administração da UFRGS entre 1959 e o ano em que ela, de fato, estabeleceu os cursos (1963). Assim, foi possível não apenas narrar o desenvolvimento dos cursos e refletir sobre as dificuldades encontradas para o estabelecimento do ensino superior em Administração no Brasil, mas também identificar que a ausência de legislação que regulamentasse o curso e, também, a profissão de administrador servia como ...

Unveiling systemic oppression in business education: Freire’s contribution to our quest for social change

“…3. In the context of BSs, the consciousness-raising process through CME is inherently linked to a process of deconstructing the historically imperialist aspect of ME (see Alcadipani and Bertero, 2012; Alcadipani and Faria, 2014; Barros et al, 2018; Cooke and Alcadipani, 2015). This is a fundamental task to open grounds for alternative ways of seeing and feeling that relate to the genuine concerns of members of our communities.…”

Influência Do Pensamento De Língua Francesa Na Academia Brasileira De Administração: Um Olhar Franco-Quebequense

“…No campo das Ciências Administrativas, essa hegemonia remonta aos anos 1950, ocasião em que os governos estadunidense e brasileiro firmaram acordos a fim de estabelecer os primeiros programas de ensino e de criar as primeiras instituições de ensino superior em gestão, imersos no contexto da Guerra Fria e com ajuda da Fundação Ford, profundamente inspiradas pelo modelo estadunidense de formação acadêmica (Alcadipani & Bertero, 2012Alcadipani & Caldas, 2012;Alcadipani & Cooke, 2013;Barros, Alcadipani & Bertero, 2018;Serva & Andion, 2021).…”

“…Furthermore, other works draw on the historical perspective to discuss and to remount several events and practices in the context of the history of educational institutions (Alcadipani & Bertero, 2014;Barros, 2014Barros, , 2017Barros, Alcadipani, & Bertero, 2018;Fernandes, Bezerra, & Ipiranga, 2015); the potential of history for professional career analysis (Closs & Rocha-de-Olivera, 2015); the relationship of companies with the issue of the Brazilian dictatorship in memory spaces creations (Costa, Silva, & Monteiro, 2016;Trindade & Costa, 2017); museums (Costa, Mancebo, & Pessoa, 2016) and the intersection with human rights (Costa & Silva, 2018); how memory and history are appropriated by advertising discourse (Costa & Pessoa, 2016); the discussion on the ANTi-History approach (Ipiranga, Chaym, & Sousa, 2016a, 2016bQuelha-de-Sá & Costa, 2018); the role of history in the construction of organizational memory (Perdigão, Barros, Carrieri, & Miranda, 2015), and in presenting the association with the construction of practices in organizing the city (Lopes & Ipiranga, 2017).…”
