The use of the term diversity has been constant in organizational studies, because management is closely related to the management of diversity. Thus, the purpose of this article is to analyze the publications on Diversity Management available on the basis of the Spell platform in theperiod between 1991 and 2017, to verify the periods, reporting the authors who published the most, the higher education institutions associated with these authors and the major journals. Thus, this is a bibliometric research, with predominantly quantitative approach and brief qualitative aspect. After the appropriate filters on "Diversity Management", 128 articles were selected and organized into categories (journal, authors, IES, theme, research approach). The results engendered actually indicate the competitive and strategic importance to organizations as they study organizational learning. It is hoped that this survey can contribute to demonstrate the scenario of scientific production on Management of diversity and provide reflection on the possible courses and limitations in the organizational context. As a limitation, the analysis in only one database stands out.

This paper aimed to identify the competencies perceived by the students of Business Administrationin the state of Maranhão that were developed during their courses. It is justified because it will add an angle of discussion on the qualities of thesecourses-the student perception about the competencies –while the current researches concentrated on the quality of the courses. It was used a descriptive character research, with cross-sectionalcut, through the data collection of primary data by accessibility. The results were obtained through descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. The descriptive statistics showed that some Public and Private IES students tended to agree on the development of the competencies and habilities; while others did not –the standard-deviations of the average of the answers indicated dispersion among opinions. The estimates of the regression, at 5% level of confidence, showed that, for the Public IES, only the Profissiographic Profile showed statistically significant to explain the egress profile. For the Private IES, the variables showed statistically significant, at the level of 5% of confidence, Profissiographic Profile, Job Description and “working in the administrative area”.These results suggest that the Public IES students notice less competencies and abilities that are being developed to them than the Private IES students.

The Federal Constitution establishes that all public contracts must be carried out through bidding. This paper presents an analysis of the procedures for contracting public outsourced services in federal institutions of higher education, taking as reference the contracting processes of outsourced services, at the Federal University of Pernambuco. In the development of the work, the concepts of bidding were taken as theoretical reference, exposing a brief history of the public bidding and the legislations that regulate the public hirings. For that, the qualitative approach was carried out through bibliographical and documentary research, and the theoretical basis was based on papers already published and pertinent to the research topic and in the regulatory legislation of public bidding. The result was a documentary research product carried out at the Administrative Unit for Procurement and Contracts, which is subordinated to the UFPE Administrative Management Office, where the processes of hiring companies specialized in the rendering of services were analyzed. The analysis shows that public procurement is not a simple task and does not take place in a timely manner and requires deep knowledge of the parties involved and still faces a slow and burdensome bureaucracy.

The theme of the evasion on higher education has become a real concern and a reality in Brazil’s educational area and other parts of the world. In this context, Distance Learning assumes the centrality, because it has been considered an alternative to get access to higher education. Thus, the objective of this paper is to analyze the main reasons for the evasion in 18 courses of the Distance LearningHub at Anhanguera Uniderp in Rondonópolis –MT. The data collection took place in two moments. First, by semi-structured interviews with principals and coordinators of the institution, later, by sending an electronic questionnaire to students. During the consideration of the data, statistic models were used covering factorial and comparative analysis between average numbers. The results show significant statistic differences at 0,05 level between the evasion and the situation when these students were studying and marital status, and there is no significant difference between evasion and semester, course, gender and type of housing. Qualitative data have some reasons not observed before. The results of the quantitative and qualitative analysis were discussedtogether, with the purpose to reinforce the discoveries of the research.
