Resumo: | Authority and legitimacy are key concepts in strategy. The authority of the strategist - in special the strategist of the big corporation - is based on the legitimate validity of his position, practices, and the type of knowledge he or she uses. The field of strategy provides bases of legitimacy for the authority of strategists and also is legitimated by strategists. These characteristics help explain the extraordinary territorial-international expansion of both big corporations and the field of strategy in the last decades and also why the authority of the strategist is being challenged in the age of globalization. Based on the work of Max Weber this article shows the importance of the territorial-international dimension of authority and legitimacy for both strategists and the field of strategy. The authors argue that the knowledge produced in US is problematic because it doesn’t recognize power and political issues pointed out by Weber, nor the different types of strategists that are typical in emerging economies. The authors suggest in the end how and why the field of strategy in Brazil can help comprehend and construct legitimate authority of strategists in emerging economies. |

Authority and Legitimacy in StrategyAutoridade e Legitimidade em EstratégiaAuthority and legitimacy are key concepts in strategy. The authority of the strategist - in special the strategist of the big corporation - is based on the legitimate validity of his position, practices, and the type of knowledge he or she uses. The field of strategy provides bases of legitimacy for the authority of strategists and also is legitimated by strategists. These characteristics help explain the extraordinary territorial-international expansion of both big corporations and the field of strategy in the last decades and also why the authority of the strategist is being challenged in the age of globalization. Based on the work of Max Weber this article shows the importance of the territorial-international dimension of authority and legitimacy for both strategists and the field of strategy. The authors argue that the knowledge produced in US is problematic because it doesn’t recognize power and political issues pointed out by Weber, nor the different types of strategists that are typical in emerging economies. The authors suggest in the end how and why the field of strategy in Brazil can help comprehend and construct legitimate authority of strategists in emerging economies.Autoridade e legitimidade são conceitos fundamentais em estratégia. A autoridade do estrategista - em especial o estrategista da grande empresa - costuma se basear na validade legítima de sua posição, de suas práticas e do tipo de conhecimento usado. A área de estratégia, por sua vez, costuma fornecer bases legítimas para a autoridade do estrategista e também ser legitimada pelo estrategista e suas práticas. Essa combinação de características ajuda a explicar a extraordinária expansão território-internacional da grande empresa e da área de estratégia nas últimas décadas e também por que a autoridade de estrategistas e das grandes empresas vem sendo amplamente desafiada na era da globalização. Com base na contribuição de Max Weber, este artigo mostra a importância da dimensão território-internacional da autoridade e da legitimidade para estrategistas e para a área de estratégia. Os autores argumentam que o conhecimento produzido nos EUA é problemático no Brasil, porque não reconhece questões de poder e política ressaltadas por Weber nem os diferentes tipos de estrategistas que fazem parte de economias emergentes. Ao final, os autores sugerem como e por que a área de estratégia no Brasil pode ajudar a compreender e a construir a autoridade legítima de estrategistas em economias emergentes.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2007-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/5035Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 5 No. 3 (2007); 1 a 18Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 5 Núm. 3 (2007); 1 a 18Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 5 n. 3 (2007); 1 a 181679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/5035/3769Faria, Alexandre de AlmeidaImasato, Takeyoshiinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2016-10-10T17:10:23Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/5035Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T09:59:24.849230Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true |
