Abstract

Strategic management processes have been increasingly seen as essential to the effectiveness of public organizations. In the context of the Brazilian public management, the administrative reforms that undertook efforts to transform strategic management processes, usually, show little institutional sedimentation. The objective of the research was to analyze which practices implemented by the public organizations studied contribute to the advancement in the stage of institutionalization of its strategic management processes and models. The work was based on an applied, descriptive research with a qualitative approach, in which a case study was done in two public organizations, which have models of strategic management for more than five years. The analyzes were carried out from three theoretical perspectives: historical-analytical, institutional and technical. The results show that the technical motivations overlapped the isomorphic pressures. It was observed that the greatest difficulty of organizations in the advance of institutionalization resided in the practices of governance, confirming the theoretical propositions presented. Confirming part of the institutional theory, the actor’s perception regarding the benefits brought by Reengineerings have contributed to its maintenance. As for the adherence of the institutional theory, it was possible to observe theoretical gaps in the new institutionalism, with emphasis on the overestimation of the isomorphic mechanisms.
