Crescimento Organizacional: Uma Ideologia Gerencial?

Understanding Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) Growth: a compendium literature review and standpoints of studies

“…Regardless of the heterogeneity and idiosyncratic nature of firm growth, studies conducted by most scholars indicated that there is a noticeable dearth of empirical studies on growth incident on difference methods that take into consideration variety of owner-managers and different context. Additionally, growth should be looked at from different perspectives of study instead of the conventional economic rationality (Seifert and Vizeu, 2015). Hence, lack of documentation on growth phenomenon with reference to Ghanaian SMEs was one of the major shortcomings in this current enquiry.…”

Competição enquanto representação ideológica no ambiente ferroviário estadunidense: uma historiografia entre 1859 e 1869

“…The aim of this study was to analyze the ideological conceptions of competition in the US railroad environment during the Civil War, and construction of the first transcontinental railroad between 1859 and 1869. This proposition took place from central issues, such as: a) the relevance of US railroads in the constitution of the contemporary organizational model, especially since the Civil War; b) the role of railroads as a symbol of modernity, progress and development in 19th century Western societies (CHANDLER, 1999;PERROW, 2002;WOLMAR, 2012aWOLMAR, , 2012bWHITE, 2012); c) the influence of the ideas of justice, freedom and individual action, resulting from the rise of the bourgeoisie in Europe, with competition as the central aspect of the new model of society (SMITH, 1976;WEBER, 2006;BACIC, 2011;HobsbawM, 2014aHobsbawM, , 2014bHobsbawM, , 2014c; d) the specific characteristics of establishing US society, from a linked historical context, highlighted in the previous item (KARNAL, 2004;FERNANDES and MORAIS, 2004); d) weakness in the conceptual drafting of OS, marked by anachronisms and ideologically orientated constructions (RAMOS, 1983;TRAGTENBERG, 2005;MATITZ and VIZEU, 2012;BARRETO, 2014;MOURA, 2014;SEIFERT and VIZEU, 2015;BÉHAR, 2019).…”

“…Conceptual production in the field of Organizational Studies (OS) has historically presented the often inadequate incorporation of the theoretical constructions of different fields of study (RAMOS, 1983;MOURA, 2014). Supported by anachronisms (MATITZ and VIZEU, 2012;MOURA, 2014;BÉHAR, 2019), the reasons that lead to this may be associated with ideologies orientated by the manipulation of individual behavior, due to the interests of specific groups (TRAGTENBERG, 2005;BARRETO, 2014;SEIFERT and VIZEU, 2015;BÉHAR, 2019). Thus, considering the importance of the concept of competition in OS, and variations in the associated conceptions (BARNEY and HESTERLY, 2009), in this article we have analyzed perspectives related to competition, using a historical and discursive approach.…”

O campo científico da administração: uma análise a partir do círculo das matrizes teóricas

“…One of a reformist, committed to theoretical plurality, recognizing the limitations of the orthodox school, led by the European and American academy, but firm in defending the fundamental principles of mainstream, such as efficiency, effectiveness and profitability (critical performance) and Micro-emancipation of management. Another of a revolutionary character, committed to a critical thinking that is closer to the Frankfurtian tradition, an opponent of the Orthodox school, a champion of other theoretical and practical realities of management (TRAGTENBERG, 1974;RAMANOS, 1989, MIZOCZY andCAMARA, 2015;SEIFERT and VIZEU, 2015a;2015b), in addition to the dominant Euro-American models.…”
