Scholarly Management Knowledge in the Periphery: Argentina and Brazil in Comparative Perspective (1970-2005)
Journal Title: BAR: Brazilian Administration Review - Year 2010, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper examines academic management knowledge in two developing countries, Argentina and Brazil. It shows that the level of scholarliness of this type of knowledge varies greatly within countries with a similar degree of economic development. Furthermore, the paper demonstrates that the main factor behind the expansion of scholarly management knowledge in the countries under study is the institutionalization of the academic community through faculty professionalization, which is in turn influenced by the size of the economy and the state’s commitment to supporting the higher education system.
