Is There a Way to Teach Business Administration?

The aim of this study was to analyze the dimensions of the learning environment of Business Administration teaching in the Northeast region of Brazil in the process of training administrators. To this end, the context of the training of administrators in the Northeast was addressed. Next, a historical review of undergraduate business education in the Northeast was carried out, highlighting the adherence to North American for-business teaching models and the developmentalist perspective. The curricular structure of the courses in the region is also observed and the dimensions of the learning environment are discussed, highlighting the following: historical-political, structural-institutional and cultural-social. It is clear that regionalized training is an alternative for bringing teaching and the learning environment closer together in a way that is aligned with the possibilities for professional work in Administration in the Northeast. In this way, the book recovers a historical trace of the teaching of Business Administration, especially in the Northeast of the country, leading the reader to reflect on the possibilities of ways to improve the training of administrators through the nuances presented by their learning environment.
