Final remarks.Pa l av r a S -c h av e : administração pública; gestão social; metodologia de pesquisa; pesquisa acadêmica; produção científica. Key w o r d S :public sector management; social management; research methodology; academic research; scientific production.Nos últimos anos, observa-se grande esforço dos pesquisadores em fazer um balanço crítico das publicações científicas em diversas disciplinas. Porém, algumas áreas foram pouco contempladas, como a administração pública e gestão social. Buscando preencher essa lacuna, este artigo apresenta um quadro geral da produção científica em administração pública e gestão social com base nos dados levantados em 549 artigos publicados nos anais do Enanpad, entre os anos de 2000 e 2005. As variáveis analisadas em cada artigo foram: número de autores por artigo; instituição e estado * Artigo recebido em set. 2006 e aceito em nov. 2007.

Case study in public administration: a critical review of Brazilian scientific production

“…In addition to the aforementioned works, when Fleury, Bloch, Bravo, and Bicudo (2003) analyzed articles published in the Public Administration Magazine (Revista de Administração Pública [RAP]), between 1992 and 2002, he observed that case study was a research strategy used in 32% of the articles reviewed. Findings discovered by Hocayenda-Silva, Rossoni and Ferreira (2008) confirm this observation. Gondim et al (2005) …”

“…Among the articles first selected, only those that had predominantly qualitative empirical research as their objective were All the articles selected were initially analyzed according to their contexts, making it possible to identify the period of publication, the journals that published the greater part of the material, as well as the institutions that had the highest output on the subject. Then, based on the outline of previous research on administration published in Brazil (Bertero, Caldas, & Wood, 1999;Bertero, Vasconcelos, & Binder, 2003;Calixto, 2009;Gondim et al, 2005;Hocayen-da-Silva, Rossoni, & Ferreira, 2008;Pacheco, 2003;Tonelli, Caldas, Lacombe, & Tinoco, 2003;Vergara & Peci, 2003), the following general analysis criteria were used: (a) number of case studies investigated; (b) selection strategy used in each case; (c) temporal cut-off; (d) level of governmental research on the subject; (e) data gathering technique; (f) data analysis technique; and (g) theoretical basis.…”

The knowledge-building process of public administration research: a comparative perspective between Brazil and North American contexts

“…Since the late 1980s, Brazilian PA research shares with its American counterpart the systematic attempt at self-evaluation. However, this self-evaluation process began later in the Brazilian context, with a paper by Machado-Da-Silva, Amboni, and Cunha in 1989 (Machado-Da-Silva et al., 1989), followed by other evaluations that mainly demonstrate that the academic field of PA in Brazil lacks institutional quality and maturity, even though it is growing exponentially (Hocayen-da-Silva et al., 2008; Machado-da-Silva et al., 2008; Pacheco, 2003).…”

“…To examine the state of PA research, we analyze, through a content analysis of a sample of highly ranked Brazilian journal publications, the subjects that PA researchers regularly study, the paradigmatic cognitive orientations of the publications, their methodological refinement, and their institutional characteristics, and compare these dimensions to previous North American evaluations. Our focus on Brazilian PA research is justified not only by the exponential growth of the field of PA in terms of the numbers of graduate-school programs, academic meetings, researchers, academic journals, and publications (Hocayen-da-Silva et al., 2008; Machado-Da-Silva et al., 1989; Pacheco, 2003; Souza, 1998), but also by the relevance of Brazil and its public sector in terms of the global economy.…”

Réplica 3 ? Clássicos... Quais clássicos? ? Antinomias e tensões no ?fazer ciência? em administração

“…Estas análises apontam problemas reincidentes relacionadas, principalmente, com a: (a) falta de rigor metodológico; (b) concentração excessiva da produção em poucas instituições e número relativamente reduzido de redes de pesquisa; além da (c) importação de matriz teórica, refletida na baixa diversidade de origem de autoria e alta citação de autores norte-americanos; e, (d) falta de relevância das pesquisas realizadas (Bertero & Keinert, 1994;Caldas & Tinoco, 2004;Hocayen-da-Silva, Rossoni, & Ferreira, 2008a, 2008bMachado-da-Silva, Cunha, & Amoboni, 1990;Rodrigues & Carrieri, 2001;Quintella, 2003;Vergara & Pinto 2001) (3) .…”
