As we may not ignore the political relations in Management assuming it as essentially technical it will be discussed in this case the managerialism, the marginalized knowledge and the power relations that legitimize the valid knowledge in the field. It will be addressed a specific conflict situation which occurred in the Communication area due to the merger of two sectors that favored different forms of knowledge: rational-legal knowledge versus tacit and practical knowledge. In addition to studying relations of power-knowledge, it will be possible to understand how resistance is played through resignification in speech and in actions/tactics.Keywords: Power Relations, Resistance, onflict.
