The consolidation of the democracy and the consequent increase of the social demand by decisions and public and government lawsuits, able to generate results that attend collectively the different levels of the society and able to aggregate and articulate additional values to their interests, imposes to the public sector administration, great challenges of public policies. Nowadays, the indispensable condition to guarantee a minimum governmental benchmark, it to overcome these challenges, in the plan of the public administration, demanded for the promotion of the economic development, in the democratic scope, to reach the politician-institutional values of the society. However, It is undeniable, the universality of the challenges of public administration that consequently, are the effects of modern administrative systems.

Therefore, the main goal of this these, is the analysis of the organizational challenges and consequently ,the lawsuits changes of the organizational structures faced in general by the Brazilian¿s Accounts Courts, which we believe, will help to elaborate paths of propulsive evaluating and restrictive elements to the innovations that are intended to introduce the systems of necessary control in the evaluation of government programs.

The present work has as its basic purpose observing the principal administrative changes originated from the implementation of the Social Organization Project, inserted in the recent administrative reforms in Brazil, proposed from the Director Plan of the State Reform and approved by the National Congress in November of 1995. In the course of the text will be presented the main factors of the transformation from a bureaucratic public administration to a managerial public administration, specifically focusing the change from a Government Organization to a Social Organization. To reach the proposed objective, a case study of the Brazilian Association of Light Sincrotron Technology - ABTLuS, that represented the first Social Organization installed in Brazil, responsible for the management of the National Laboratory of Light Sincrotron - LNLS, under form of administration contract signed with Nationl Research Council - CNPq and Science and Technology Ministry - MCT. Initially, was developed the theoretical framework, based on the existent literature. Proceeding, field researches were realized in the cities of Campinas - SP, in Brasília - DF and in Rio de Janeiro - RJ. As a consequence of the accomplished work, it was possible to observe that the implementation of the SO administrative model brought more administrative flexibility for the qualified institution. This fact induced to gains of agility and efficiency, with more responsibilities, for the leaders as well as for the employees of ABTLuS. As for the other two important items consisted in the Director Plan, related with the cultural change (from bureaucratic to managerial) and with the social control (larger interaction in the relationship State-society), it is important to stand out the need of a larger time for evaluation, considering that the LNLS presents peculiar characteristics (subject approached in the work). The Social Organization ABTLuS counts with a little more than two years of administration contract, therefore the process is still in course.

Metodologia de custeio baseado em atividades implementada no Banco Central do Brasil: uma análise de seus desdobramentos

In the last years, there has been a strong tendency of transferring typical business management concepts and practices to the public administration, such as: efficiency, efficacy, effectiveness, economy, operational excellence, results and transparency. The limited offer of resources, as well as the growing demand for accountability, justifies that movement. In order to put the aforementioned concepts into operation, the public administration uses some mechanisms, among them cost management. This dissertation focuses on the use of cost management systems, based on an activity-based costing (ABC) method, by Brazilian public entities. The present analysis is conducted from the ABC system implemented in the Brazilian Central Bank (BACEN) - an indirect public administration autarchy - the main goal of this study is to examine its outcomes since the implementation of the system. The investigation went through three main questions: if the system is being used, if it is fulfilling the objectives sought and, finally, if it is providing the expected benefits. Semi-structured interviews were made with members of the institution; and, according to the assumptions and tools tailored for this study, the collected data were analysed qualitatively. Evidences indicate that information, when not manipulated in a systematic way, hinder not only the incorporation of the cost system to the routine, but also the achievement of the goals and benefits aimed with such implementation.

Águas: campo organizacional poder e sistema de informações. O CEIVAP como protótipo da gestão de recursos hídricos no Brasil

O modelo descentralizado, participativo e integrado de gestão de recursos hídricos que se ordena em função das bacias hidrográficas demanda um grande esforço de todos os atores envolvidos na gestão. Para compreendê-lo é essencial considerar os antecedentes históricos, os marcos legais, o arcabouço jurídico e o ferramental tecnológico moderno (sistemas de informações) que definem a representação das esferas governamentais, dos usuários de grande porte e da sociedade civil na gestão. Utilizando a teoria institucional, o conceito de campo organizacional e a tecnologia da informação, considerando sempre o poder como variável central da disputas sociais, este trabalho buscou, interpretando os discursos das entrevistas em profundidade e usando a literatura disponível, a descrição do desenvolvimento e da formação do campo formado em função do tema da gestão das águas. A escolha da teoria institucional permite obter uma visão mais abrangente do estudo das organizações, incorporando temas como valores e legitimação como elementos de sucesso das organizações em um campo. o trabalho conclui que há um campo organizacional da gestão de recursos hídricos nos moldes proposto pela teoria utilizada. Neste campo há questões centrais que dirigem a geração de valores. Este campo se completa com atores periféricos, representantes de discursos ainda não plenamente incorporados, mas que já demandam resposta dos atores centrais. A tecnologia, através dos sistemas de informações, ainda não contribui para qualquer alteração significativa na distribuição de poder no campo.
