Abstract

The proposal of Exchange Research Internship Abroad (BEPE) aims to understand the forms of symbolic domination through the beliefs produced by the discourse of the agents inserted in the US management field, and relate the observed reality abroad to the observed reality in Brazil, by comparing the data obtained in the research underway in the country (No. Process: 2013 / 19448-1) and the data to be obtained from the empirical research abroad. Therefore, the research will analyze the speech, behavior and both explicit rules (through questionnaires, interviews, media and institutional materials) and implicit rules (through ethnographic observation) that guide the training of management professionals in Chicago, United States of America (USA). Specifically, as an empirical focus, the study will seek to elucidate issues from the analysis of the educational programs and the trajectory of the students and professors of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
