Analysis of the Institutional Development Plan of South-Southeast Consortium of Federal Universities

Abstract

Federal Universities within the context of Reuni are experiencing a time of great expansion and investment. In this macro-context, seven Ifes (Federal Institutions of Higher Education) of Minas Gerais established an agreement represented by the South-Southeast Consortium of Minas Gerais with proposals for academic and administrative integration. In this respect, the action of administrators of public institutions in face of the challenge of undertaking management which ensures organizational effectiveness and efficiency, should be guided by a strategic planning tool, as represented by the Institutional Development Plan (IDP), created by Decree 5.773/06. The research was documental analysis of the IDPs published on the Ifes sites of the South-Southeast Consortium of Minas Gerais in order to evaluate the plan from the bureaucratic point of view based on the studies of Segenreich (2005). Analysis of the data showed that the IDP is not very consistent in regard to the quantification of goals, description of actions, resource requirements, deadlines and those responsible for its implementation.
