General Objective of the Program
To train professionals capable of contributing to research, analysis, production, and application of knowledge in the field of Administration, in general, and, specifically, in the Program's concentration area: Organizational Networks. By pursuing this objective, the Graduate Program in Administration (PPGA) seeks, on one hand, to meet the demand of researchers graduating from or coming from other institutions who wish to deepen their theoretical, methodological, and/or empirical reflections on Organizational Networks; and, on the other hand, to contribute to the strengthening and development of the Stricto Sensu Graduate Programs at Universidade Paulista - UNIP.
Specific Objectives for the Program:
- Qualify faculty, primarily in the field of Administration, to enhance the content of their disciplines and the possibilities of their teaching methods.
- Develop researchers capable of contributing to the advancement of knowledge in the field of Administration, especially for themes involving organizational networks and their social, strategic, and operational developments.
- Train academic leaders who contribute to scientific, technological, and professional qualification policies.
- Promote the integration of UNIP with the local community through the research conducted in the Program, endorsing the institution as a reference for the development of policies related to organizational networks.
- Qualify professionals, especially managers and business owners, to have a critical vision and practical tools for business development and their relationships with other actors, such as public, private, and third-sector institutions.
