Resumo: This paper aims to analyze how the “Americanization” of management education took place in practice in Brazil. In doing so, we focus on one of the most important management courses in Brazil that has not yet been analyzed by previous researchers. This paper focusses on documents of the communications between American academics at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul [UFRGS]) and their supervisors, who also worked on the bilateral agreement between Brazil and the United States. This agreement aimed to expand higher education in management in Brazil, and relevant progress reports were located in the archives of Michigan State University. In analyzing these documents, we demonstrate the development of UFRGS management courses between the year in which the institution signed the cooperation agreement (1959) and when the course was established (1963). This period was chosen because it helps to clearly explain the reasons that led to the delay in the implementation of courses at UFRGS, as well as the actions of representatives of the institutions in this period. Our analysis describes the course’s development but also reflects on the difficulties that faced the establishment of higher education in management in Brazil. We found that the lack of legislation regulating the course and also the administration profession served as the justification for barring the undergraduate course at UFGRS. We also point out several difficulties that had to be overcome for the bachelor programs to settle from 1963 onwards.

Se realizaron análisis históricos sobre los cursos de Administración de la FGV EAESP, UFBA y UFMG y este texto suple la falta de análisis de uno de los cursos más importantes de Brasil -el de la Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). Se analizaron documentos inéditos -que no fueron objeto de análisis anterior-, oriundos de la comunicación entre profesores estadounidenses en la UFRGS y sus supervisores, que también trabajaban en el acuerdo bilateral Brasil-EE.UU., destinado a la expansión de la educación superior en Administración de Empresas. Se discutió el desarrollo de los cursos de Administración de la UFRGS entre 1959 y 1963, año en que de hecho se establecieron los cursos. De este modo, no sólo fue posible narrar el desarrollo de los cursos y reflexionar sobre las dificultades encontradas para el establecimiento de la enseñanza superior de Administración en Brasil., sino también identificar que la falta de legislación que regulara el curso y también la profesión de administrador sirvió como justificación para impedir la implantación del curso de licenciatura en la UFRGS. Asimismo, se señalaron las dificultades hubo que superar para que las licenciaturas se establecieran a partir de 1963.O artigo aborda a história e a Administração, e apresenta elementos sobre o desenvolvimento de uma Escola específica, o que permite olhar com mais minúcia para a forma como a “americanização” da Administração se desenvolveu na prática. Aná­lises históricas foram realizadas a respeito dos cursos de Administração da FGV EAESP, UFBA e UFMG, e este texto preenche a lacuna de falta de análises de um dos cursos mais importantes do Brasil, o da UFRGS. Analisamos os documentos inéditos oriundos da comunicação entre professores estadunidenses na UFRGS e seus supervisores, que também atuavam no acordo bilateral entre Brasil e EUA, documentos que não foram objeto de análise anterior. Discutimos o desenvolvimento dos cursos de Administração da UFRGS entre 1959 e o ano em que ela, de fato, estabeleceu os cursos (1963). Assim, foi possível não apenas narrar o desenvolvimento dos cursos e refletir sobre as dificuldades encontradas para o estabelecimento do ensino superior em Administração no Brasil, mas também identificar que a ausência de legislação que regulamentasse o curso e, também, a profissão de administrador servia como justificativa para barrar a implantação da graduação na UFGRS. Ainda apontamos dificuldades que tiveram que ser superadas para os bacharelados se estabelecerem a partir de 1963.  RAE - Revista de Administracao de Empresas RAE - Revista de Administração de EmpresasRAE-Revista de Administração de Empresas2018-02-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rae/article/view/7387810.1590/S0034-759020180101RAE - Revista de Administracao de Empresas ; Vol. 58 No. 1 (2018): janeiro-fevereiro; 3-15RAE - Revista de Administração de Empresas; Vol. 58 Núm. 1 (2018): janeiro-fevereiro; 3-15RAE-Revista de Administração de Empresas; v. 58 n. 1 (2018): janeiro-fevereiro; 3-152178-938X0034-7590reponame:Revista de Administração de Empresasinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporenghttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rae/article/view/73878/70924https://periodicos.fgv.br/rae/article/view/73878/70925Copyright (c) 2018 RAE - Revista de Administração de Empresasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBarros, AmonAlcadipani, RafaelBertero, Carlos Osmar2019-01-17T17:33:38Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/73878Revistahttps://rae.fgv.br/raeONGhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phprae@fgv.br||ilda.fontes@fgv.br||raeredacao@fgv.br2178-938X0034-7590opendoar:2024-03-06T13:05:54.634298Revista de Administração de Empresas - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
