Formação gerencial: uma análise da oferta dos programas de pós-graduação lato sensu em gestão empresarial do rs/Brasil. VIII Congreso Iberoamericano de Investigación sobre Gobernanza Universitaria

Abstract

The aim of this study is to discuss the products and services offered in the graduate specialization programs by institutions of higher education in RS. This study is classified as qualitative and exploratory, and data were collected through secondary data, institutional documents and higher education institutions websites as well as semi-structured interviews with coordinators of specialization programs and with experts on management training. The results are discussed in light of authors and research about management training, pointing out that, if on the one hand, there is a growing concern with investments in this sort of training, either by companies or by managers who seek these programs, on the other hand there is still a long way to be paved by higher education institutions for an effective contribution in this type of training.
