Abstract

This essay aims to discuss the contradictions of the Brazilian management postgraduate programs and its impacts on the assessment process as well as on those professionals in the system. Departing from the confusion created between the notions of research and teaching, I contend that the postgraduation level is not “the” space for research in management in Brazil, but a place to teach how to perform the research. I present during my reasoning how this confusion creates distortions in the Brazilian management postgraduate programs as well as in the assessment system coordinated by the Brazilian Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Level -or Education- Personnel (as known as CAPES). I suggest the master degree as an education level for teaching and the doctorate level for research.
