This research aimed to verify if the producers of a small rural property focused on family agriculture in the dairy sector ofRondonópolis/MT have the use of information technologies in the production process as a necessity, and thus identify the importance of the use of technology as a tool, providing managers with information for decision making and contributing to productivity. It was also sought to detect aspects related to the needs of small farmers, highlighting its contribution to the formation of income and the absorption of labor. In order to do so, the methodological approach of the single case study in dairy production, located in the Globo Recreio Region, was used to identify its main characteristics, namely the knowledge and the needs of producers in relation to technologies, control of expenses and production, what adaptations would be necessary for such investment, consequently aiding in decision making, among other topics relevant to research. It was noted that owners have knowledge of the innovations and that they can contribute and improve production and well-being, but there are some difficulties in adopting suchtechnologies. It was observed that there is a partial control of production and costs, but no tool is used to systematize the processes.

Entrepreneurship does not mean opening a physical company. Entrepreneurship is linked to the actions of the individual, is being an entrepreneur. It is about having entrepreneurial characteristics and showing to the world innovative ideas, that usually go against what is established as something unusual. Competitions, conferences, events, lectures, all this is valid and has been used as a tool to inspire entrepreneurship to people by institutions or by successful entrepreneurs. This research was developed from the realization that Administration students of the State University of Mato Grosso, Diamantino campus, knew little about tools that are frequently used in the business world nowadays. Thus, an event was organized, "Entrepreneurial Journey", to inspire entrepreneurship to scholars through interactive activities and applicability of the Canvas tool, created by Osterwalder in 2004, to develop innovative business models. The event was designed with adaptations to the reality of the campus and lasted four evenings. The results were that the students could develop business with differentials. And through research of evaluation of the event, it was possible to notice that the Canvas tool has contributed to participants both professionally and the personally.

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.

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 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 Bolsa Família Program (PBF) is one of the most important social policies of the Federal Government today. However, although it is an international reference in the fight against poverty, the PBF is criticized for apparently not to stimulate its beneficiaries in the search for employment. This phenomenon is called "Laziness Effect". Therefore, this article intends to contribute to the discussion by investigating the impacts of the Bolsa Família Program in the fight against poverty and inequality reduction in Mato Grosso, as well as to analyze if the Program influences the discouragement of the insertion of its beneficiaries in the labor market in the period between 2004 and 2014. Regarding the methodological procedures, the bibliographic research andthe Pearson's Correlation test will be used. The results confirm the PBF as an efficient and effective tool to combat poverty, reducing income inequality and, not demonstrating that it generates the Laziness Effect in the beneficiaries of Mato Grosso.

The work analyzes the theoretical, methodological and conceptual weaknesses entailed,for the Public Administration field, by the transposition of different theories of all the fields with which it has interdisciplinarity. The fierce dispute for the hegemony waged by different economic schools of thought is amplified because the field of Public Administration receives these disputes without the authors clearly identifying the presuppositions and the implications of each adopted theory, assigning to the phenomenon the theoretical choice when it should be the product of a conception of how the world works, with its economic and political dimensions. The dispute between the theories also means that there is no established paradigm, which transports conflicts to the applications. The contribution of the study is to show that the adoption of incompatible theories generates a fragility that will not be overcome by the higher qualification of the professionals, because the theoretical contradictions will persist until a paradigm is chosen, which is difficult due to the rivalry of the transposed paradigms.
