Available resources include:
- Computers with internet access, international scientific article and data databases, and specialized software, such as:
- Data analysis (SPSS for statistical analysis, NVIVO for qualitative analysis, SmartPLS for structural equation modeling, and UCINET for network analysis);
- Reference management software;
- Consumables (paper, ink, etc.);
- Permanent materials (furniture, equipment, and various instruments).
Main goals of the LEPq:
- Primarily provide tutoring, mentoring sessions, advisory meetings, academic research, and other related activities;
- Support the development of teaching and research projects related to the master’s and doctoral programs in Administration;
- Serve the community without compromising the regular pedagogical activities;
- Carry out activities under partnerships or agreements established by the PPGA-UNIP with public or private institutions, both national and international, aiming at the continuous improvement of teaching and research.
