The field of Organizational Studies has grown and consolidated substantially over the last five decades, and today includes an expressive variety of themes, epistemological currents, methodologies and approaches. At FGV EAESP, the Organizational Studies group was formed based on the guidance and classic contributions of Fernando Claudio Prestes Motta, Ramon Garcia and Mauricio Tragtenberg. These contributions were characterized by a reflexive and critical view of organizations and their dynamics. In its current configuration, the Organizational Studies Research Line aims to carry out studies that continue this tradition and draw on the latest theoretical advances in the field in Brazil and around the world.

The central theme of the Operations Management and Sustainability research line is the role of operations management for performance and competitiveness. Traditional operations management themes such as operations strategy, logistics, supply chain management, service management, quality and processes are part of the research interests of its researchers. In addition, broader themes are addressed such as: sustainable development and its impact on the environment; industrial clusters; sustainability strategies; and, innovation.
