Abstract

The initial course of this work dates back to the models of public administration in Brazil, with the proposed elementary historical context of these paradigms, as a requirement to engage in embryonic development theorist, guiding the implementation of the case study of this research. The assumption behind this work is the understanding that the training model of polycentric structures, implemented at the University of the State of Bahia - UNEB, is in the perception of managers, an important tool for innovation and management of public policies. Seeks, as its central objective of this paper was to present the model of formation of polycentric structures adopted by UNEB the perspective of their managers, as a mechanism of strategic management paradigm of public administration, in view of the innovation process and management public policy. The journey theoretical approaches the training of public administration in the country, specifying, in general, the patrimonial structure, its main aspects, and characteristics and limiting factors. Besides the analysis sheet, bureaucratic mold is outlined with a focus expanded: their peculiarities are shown, some concepts and dysfunctions that characterize it. After the trajectory for these two patterns, the study lays in the mold consubstantially management or managerialism, administrative doctrine that permeates public management today. The management model is treated with a broader perspective: we describe assessments, distinctions and guidelines of this principle. In this scenario, this study examines one of the aspects that make up this doctrine: the polycentric structures or networks, a concept that seeks to streamline the administrative composition of public and private entities through a new organizational framework, based on the expectation of rising levels of management especially the effectiveness, efficiency and effectiveness. This tab managerialism is deeply theorized, being approached to design, description, methodology and results glimpsed through a study of one of the Secretaries of the Ministry of National Integration of Brazil. These aspects are essential to the confrontation with the data obtained in the analysis of the study of this work item. It is the object of this research, the University of the State of Bahia - UNEB, largest institution of higher education public North-East of the country, engaged in the intention of management vision, adopted as an archetype management organization in Networks. Displays the historical context, the legal-administrative and administrative profile of the university, and inferences about the organization, centered with greater detail on the steps of the deployment process, training and construction Paradigm Network Management Departmental aspect organizational conceived under the pillars of polycentric structures. The research has the qualitative and quantitative, and its descriptive nature and method of analysis case study. To obtain the results, we applied a questionnaire, divided into eight axes, managers of all departmental units that make up the UNEB. After collection, the data were analyzed based on the Likert scale. In information collected found that managers consider unebianos management model through polycentric structures as important, however the results found in the level of satisfaction of this tool was low. At the end, there is a partial answer to the assumption studied, so that the data, information and results mentioned in this dissertation allow public officials, civil society, opinion-makers, and the scientific-academic and other researchers better understand public management under the bias network management model, on the pillars of innovation, public policy and administration models.
