This article is based on the second chapter of the author's Master thesis presented to the Brazilian School of Public Administration of the Getulio Vargas Foundation and approved in September 21, 1979. It is a survey which shows the rise of institution building as a strategy of development for poor countries. It highlights the evolution of technical assistance from a traditional approach relying on individuality of the foreign consultant on the specialist trainned abroad, to an idea of using organizations as institutional vectors to difuse new patterns of action and norms of relationship. The article also includes a review of the institution building literature with special focus on the Esman and Blaise's model.

The author uses the concept of managerial function in its most comprehensive sense, the one through which somebody (the manager) directs or controls a working staff. He also introduces the concept of managerial system, meaning the complete command network constituted through managers posted at the different hierarchical levels of the organization.  The article shows the causes and the reflections of the organizational dissociation between the managerial function and the one dealing with development of human resources, pointing out the need for developmental programs, with a view to a closer integration of both functions. Thus, the managerial function will have at its disposal an additional instrument to enhance its administrative effectiveness, while the function concerned with development of human resources will be strengthened, especially at the stages of necessity diagnosis and results appraisal, thus becoming more important, as a supportive tool for organizational action.

The author makes a proposal for an alterna tive model of planning to fit development strategies toward basic human needs. It is recognized that the concept of basic human needs is not by itself free of controversy. Moreover, it may be impossible to get to one single and most adequate definition of basic human needs. Thus, the importance of bringing the target populations to participate in the very early stages of planning, namely, those when the needs are defined and translated into demands. The highlight of the proposal is the theory of knowledge on which it relies. It does not do without scientific and technical knowledge. Rather, it tries to combine this kind of knowledge with that stemming from the experience of life. It aims at making use of non-conventional wisdom, as far untapped by the planning and policy making processes. As a consequence, the communities are turned into subjects of the planning activities, in contrast with their present position, that is, objects or policy/planning efforts. A comparison is made between the current planning practices and those proposed by the author. Some problems are anticipated, especially those related to changes in the power structure. Finally, the author defends the learning potential of her proposal, as far as it provides for both communities and government's learning: the former learning how to translate their needs into demands and the latter learning how to meet those needs more adequately.

This paper was aimed at assessing the reflections upon the National Health System of the financial transfers effected by the Ministry, from 1970 to 1975. The authores departed from a profound diagnosis of the usual mechanisms of resources transfer, from a survey of relevant legislation and also from an analysis of procedural steps to be followed in instances of agreements and grants, and has found a lot of difficulty as concerns statistical data and sectorial information enabling a firm ground for financia surveys, obtained through a direct work of research effected within the allocative agencies themselves. Therefore, she circumscribed her work to a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the resources transferred, identifying their origin and destination, as much as their administrative and operational constraints, and proposing indicators, from which to draw some conclusions and to make useful recommendations for a redesigning of the transfer policy adopted by the Ministry of Health.

Como as companhias planejam: uma tríade que inclui conhecimento, ação e direção

In the author's opinion planning in this theory is a triadic process of knowing thought arising amid its own concurrent action, both mediated by interest. In business planning, interest is usually the earning of net income; it reflects value upon facts and events and finds its expression in directing. Knowing, acting and directing provide a conceptual form into which the real-life content is introduced by a series of feasible events. An event derives its empirical content from three sources - substantive, financial, and organizational. They provide planning with its three empirical dimensions. The author concIudes that business planning may therefore be defined as a three-dimensional manifold of events, exhibited in three aspects and directed toward the earning of net income. In each of the three dimensions, the three aspects acquire different meanings.
