Resumo: This paper studies the relation between interpretive schemes and the strategic positioning of Alfa University, Mackenzie  Presbyterian University and the Adventist University Center — located in Greater São Paulo, Brazil —, considering the changes in Brazilian educational policy in the period between 1990 and 2000. Strategic positioning was evaluated by analyzing resource, product/service and marketing strategies. Interpretive schemes were identified based on the values and beliefs shared by the top executives. According to the comparative analysis of the three educational establishments, the interpretive schemes act as a filter that influences the way in which they evaluate their environment, mediating their strategic positioning and justifying the differences found among the strategies adopted by them under the same environmental constraints.

O posicionamento estratégico foi avaliadoa partir dos seguintes componentes: estratégias de recursos, de produtos/serviços e de mercado. Os esquemas interpretativos foram identificados com base nas crenças e valores compartilhados pelos dirigentes de nível estratégico das organizações em exame. A análise comparativa das três instituições permite afirmar que os esquemas interpretativos atuaram como fator mediador, influenciando a maneira como esses dirigentes percebem as mudanças ambientais, o que justifica as diferenças encontradas no posicionamento estratégico dessas instituições, diante das mesmas pressões contextuais.Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV EBAPE)2003-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rap/article/view/6476Brazilian Journal of Public Administration; Vol. 37 No. 1 (2003); 51 a 74Revista de Administração Pública; Vol. 37 Núm. 1 (2003); 51 a 74Revista de Administração Pública; v. 37 n. 1 (2003); 51 a 741982-31340034-7612reponame:Revista de Administração Públicainstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rap/article/view/6476/5060Filho, José Campos de AndradeMachado-da-Silva, Clóvis L.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-11-17T21:00:41Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/6476Revistahttps://ebape.fgv.br/publicacoes/rapONGhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||rap@fgv.br1982-31340034-7612opendoar:2021-11-17T21:00:41Revista de Administração Pública - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)false
