We seek to understand the representations created and disseminated by the business media, that contaminate, if not encourage, the practices of men and women in organizational context. We analyzed eight periodic magazines referring to the stereotype of business men and women. The samples were copies of the Brazilian magazines Exame, IstoÉ Dinheiro, Época Negócios, Pequenas Empresas & Grandes Negócios, Cláudia, Marie Claire, VIP and Playboy. Our analysis was based on Semiotics, the science concerned to the study of signs, which treats on the signifying possibilities of the several forms of language, whether verbal or not. We note that the division of the social scenery between masculine and feminine roles in the representations disseminated by the media stimulates and reifies social practices, as in a vicious circle, in which the reader follows consuming the contents of these magazines, that confirm beliefs already entrenched in the society.Keywords: Gender; Media; Business.
