Background of undergraduate courses in administration in Brazilthe schools of commerce and the higher education courses in administration and finance

Resumo

This paper presents a historical narrative about the development of schools of commerce and higher education courses in Administration and Finance in Brazil that later contributed to the establishment of high education courses in management. The study is an outcome from another work which sought the origins of the undergraduate course in administration at the Faculty of Economic Sciences of the Federal University of Minas Gerais (FACE/UFMG) and indicated the importance of schools of commerce and of the higher education courses in administration and finances and not only for that faculty. Articles on similar institutions and their courses, as well as elements of the relevant legislation were used as primary and secondary data sources. From the historical analysis, an overview of the educational structure in the country is presented, focusing on the period before the first undergraduate courses in administration were created in 1952. The work reiterates the importance of understanding the institutions that pre-existed higher education in administration and indicated the relevance of deepening discussions on the transmission and production of knowledge in Brazil.
