Public Administration in Germany has suffered pressure for reforms. Along the 90's, a broad movement towards modernization has been established, mainly envolving municipal administration. The most common strategies used nowadays to reform the German public administration are: privatization, lean administration and internal modernization (new management model, agencies to public services). This is a modern public administration framework which reduces the antagonism between state and society as well as between private and public delivery of public services. To summarize, the German modern public administration is based on a patternship between private and public sectors and on cooperation between state agencies, private organizations and non-profit organizations.

This article deals with women who are in charge of key positions in a traditionally male organization, the Civil Police of Salvador. The article focuses on the way women see themselves: the self-perception o their rolo; perceptions which they have of the role played by male professionals and the problems concerned with their position which go beyond the professional arena and influence their relationships with relatives. The main goal of this article is to develop patterns of management acknowledged by women themselves. Emphasis is put on difficulties and barriers to the personal and professional women sel-reliane in hte way put forward by Françoise Belle (1993) who has seen organizations as a key locus to discuss the gender issue, since any organization is a representation of the macro social and cultural system.

In this paper we present the links that need to be understood and worked out between the management philosophy of the leader and his unconscious processes. The theoretical framework is built on three basic concepts; request, constraints and choice (variability of practices). The study of the variability of practices calls for other concepts such as the theories of use of the leader. Our contribution is to demonstrate that this concept (theories of use) omits certain dimensions of the subject and which we designate: implicit theory. In short, our study shows that any person, including a leader, has implicit theories and that the latter greatly influence the development of its theories of use; theories which he uses every day in the action for the govern of the business. The in-depth case study aims at supporting this contribution. The management philosophy of the leader is built on ideas, concepts, values, beliefs and convictions. However, these elements are organized and structured at various levels, namely the cognitive elements, the ideas and the concepts; elements which are influenced by emotional dimensions. That is revealed through the in-depth analysis of a leader's case. In this article we analyze a case that shows the coherence of the management ideas/concepts and the links with the family history of the leader and his unconscious life (implicit theory).

This paper uses an ethnographic approach in order to capture the complexities that surround work in family businesses. Our approach enables us to concentrate on how owner-managers are able to construct the fabric of their daily lives by referring tomundane events, how they weave together stories at the human level drawing upon images of everyday routines such as the family meal, opening and closing time, the school run, or doing the books

This paper explores the developmental and evolutionary approaches in family business theory and examines four relevant stages over the history of the Odebrecht Organization. A three-dimensional developmental model (ownership, family and business) is used to analyses each one of these stages (first in the 40's, second between the 50's and 60's, third in the 70's and forth from the 80's). A deep study of the particularities on the Odebrecht development lead us to considerate the contributions and limitations that the historically influents approaches based on family business development and evolution logic can bring about the understanding of the contemporary organization phenomena.

An exploration of the new styles of work organization that shape corporate culture, hypothesizing that corporature culture embodies a style of work organization based on old, socially conscious production relations, the transformation of wich challenges the traditional rapport between management & unionized labor; as well as Taylorism's organization of work & the social role of the enterprise. The analysis of selected Quebec business enterprises reveals that corporate culture imitates the kinship relations that were once the cornerstone of the economy of Quebec's Francophones. The significance test posits Pierre Bourdieu's reversal theory that societies are evolving from those that model economic dealings on kinship relations to those in wich the reverse is true.

The main objective of this paper is to analyze up-to-date theoretical frameworks on Local Development (LD) issues, comparing these models to the traditional approach, if The author argues whether the recent approaches to this matter are actually innovative as compared to the traditional models. The analysis relies on a set of theoretical references based on the review of LD publications, which were sorted out in a comparative table. Local development is approached in terms of the "existing conceptions, as well as in terms of its practice and instruments. Such analysis leads to the conclusion that "innovative" might not be an adequate term to designate the contents of those so-called "recent approaches", as the traditional models already presented many of the elements claimed to be novel.

This paper analyses the reality of Brazilian municipalities, in particular that of Salvador, in the period of Lidice da Mata's governance, from 1993 to 1996, from the point of view of theoretical and conceptional referencial about local government and autonomy. This article argues that despite political and tax descentralization which ocurred after redemocratization, thousands of municipalities remain financerely dependent on other government levels and which are suffering restrictions to their political autonomy. However, since the 1988 Constitution, there has been an opening of opportunities for the insertion of local interests in the Nacional Congress, which permitted an increase in sources for local territories. These resources have not been necessarily allocated to the priority programmes, defined by the group elected to govern the city. Therefore, this article attempts to deep the discussion about political and local autonomy, identifying factors that influence its impact, through empirical analysis.
