“…Alberto Guerreiro Ramos is one of the main Brazilian authors in the context of organizational studies. Together with Maurício Tragtenberg and Fernando Prestes Motta, he fought for the autonomy of Brazilian organizational studies, sustaining, epistemologically, scholars with the interest of constructing an autonomous and local research (SOARES, 1995;ANDREWS, 2000;BARIANI, 2010;PINHO, 2010;FILGUEIRAS, 2012). In the view of Tenório (2010, p. 30), Guerreiro Ramos was "the first Brazilian sociologist to worry about organizational studies, including anticipating Anglo-Saxon critical thinking".…”

“…The sociological reduction (GUERREIRO RAMOS, 1965) emerges as a thesis for the construction of an interpretative base of society capable of making the national mentality solid (BARIANI, 2010;FILGUEIRAS, 2012). In a general sense, "it consists in the elimination of all that, by its accessory and secondary character, disturbs the effort of understanding and the obtaining of the essential of a data" (GUERREIRO RAMOS, 1965, p. 81).…”

This research aims to develop a critical-reflexive analysis of entrepreneurship in public administration based on two significant works of Alberto Guerreiro Ramos: ‘The sociological reduction’ and ‘The new science of organizations.’ The research is qualitative, based on bibliographic, documentary data, in-depth interviews, online questionnaires, and direct observation. The results show that the challenges present in the context of study indicate that small municipalities can present fertile ground for the development of entrepreneurial practices. The analyses have also shown that the main deficiencies of the small towns are the managers’ lack of training, the lack of effective articulation with the federal level, the lack of an environment capable of fostering proactivity and participation, the financial crisis, and the necessary behaviors and arrangements. A huge gap for the development of effective businesss practice is the loose coordination of the Union, states and cities, which is a historical feature of the country.

“…Through this theory Ramos analyzed the emergent industrialization of the Brazilian economy and highlighted the importance of developing a critical approach to the importation of foreign thoughts and theories while conducting the development process. Ramos' ideas on colonialism and epistemic subalternity, formulated back in the 1950s, still raise discussions among Brazilian scholars, thus remaining a strong influence in the discipline of Organization Studies in Brazil (see FILGUEIRAS, 2012;PAULA, MARANHÃO, BARRETO et al, 2010;PIZZA-JUNIOR, 2010;BARIANI, 2010;MOTTA, 2010;PAULA, 2007;DAVEL and ALCADIPANI, 2003).…”

This article analyzes, from a postcolonial perspective, ideas observed in the work of the Brazilian sociologist Alberto Guerreiro Ramos. To do this, first, we examine the basis of postcolonial theory, especially the general context where it emerged. Then, we examine the historical context of Brazil in the 1950s and 1960s, by discussing works by the author that portrayed the transformations in the country within this period. We devote special attention to his sociological reduction theory, as it shows his concern to discuss both epistemic colonialism and his idea of development. Finally, we compare how the postcolonial approach and Guerreiro Ramos' ideas relate to one of the most widespread theories having the precept of development as its main source of legitimacy: the International Business and Management Studies (IBMS). This analysis demonstrates that epistemic colonialism was among the key issues of Guerreiro Ramos' thought. However, we conclude that, despite the author's merits in having raised an earlier discussion that is congruent with postcolonial concerns, his thought was deeply rooted in a mystified idea of international development, similar to that of IBMS, very criticized by postcolonialism. This article seeks to contribute to the Brazilian critical organization studies, by showing the potential of postcolonial thought to challenge and defamiliarize ethnocentric and universalistic assumptions that have grounded theories and decision making processes in most of the world's societies since World War II.Este artigo analisa, sob uma perspectiva pós-colonial, ideias observadas na obra do sociólogo brasileiro Alberto Guerreiro Ramos. Para tanto, primeiro, examinamos a base da teoria pós-colonial, especialmente o contexto geral onde surgiu. Em seguida, examinamos o contexto histórico do Brasil nas décadas de 1950 e 1960, discutindo trabalhos do autor que retrataram as transformações no país nesse período. Dedicamos especial atenção à sua teoria da redução sociológica, pois esta mostra sua preocupação em discutir tanto o colonialismo epistêmico como sua noção de desenvolvimento. Finalmente, comparamos como a abordagem pós-colonial e as ideias de Guerreiro Ramos relacionam-se a uma das teorias mais disseminadas que têm o preceito de desenvolvimento como principal fonte de legitimidade: os Estudos Internacionais de Negócios e Gestão (EING). Esta análise demonstra que o colonialismo epistêmico foi uma das questões-chave do pensamento de Guerreiro Ramos. No entanto, conclui-se que, apesar dos méritos do autor em ter levantado uma discussão anterior e congruente com as preocupações pós-coloniais, seu pensamento estava profundamente enraizado em uma ideia mistificada de desenvolvimento internacional, semelhante à do EING, muito criticada pelo pós-colonialismo. Este artigo busca contribuir com os estudos organizacionais críticos brasileiros, demonstrando o potencial do pensamento pós-colonial para desafiar e desfamiliarizar pressupostos etnocêntricos e universalistas que têm embasado teorias e processos de tomada de...

Da Razão Substantiva à Razão Substantiva Cosmopolita: ensaiando novas possibilidades

Resumo Sendo a razão um conceito elementar das ciências das organizações, este ensaio teórico tem como objetivo analisar a racionalidade substantiva (RAMOS, 1989) e a racionalidade cosmopolita (SANTOS, 2002; 2007a; 2007b) a fim de derivar argumentos a favor de uma racionalidade substantiva cosmopolita. A distinção, a confrontação e a ampliação da razão substantiva, em relação a razão instrumental, dá ensejo para sustentar para que a razão substantiva, sendo também cosmopolita, enseje propostas teóricas alternativas à Ciência Social. Os dois modelos de razão, ainda, convergem na ideia pragmática das consequências de seu exercício e tem como essência interações simbólicas. A razão substantiva cosmopolita se constituiria numa concepção que agrega a restauração de uma vida de base ética e política e, ainda, erigida no reconhecimento do homem plural e multidimensional, e na tradução como elemento a ser mediado nas interações sociais. Considera a ecologia de saberes como diretriz no desenho dos cenários sociais multidimensionais.
