Organisational innovation with a focus on Theory U

This study belongs to the axis of Applied Social Sciences. It seeks to analyse the management model of the institution in view of the transformation of a Technical Unit of Rural Teaching (UTE) in a Local Productive Arrangement (APL). The research problem seeks to answer: how to innovate the management model for the transformation of a Technical Unit of Rural Teaching into a APL? A quali-quantitative and descriptive methodology is used, with the use of participant research. As results it was possible to present a model of APL and to understand the holistic organization by the structural, pedagogical, social participation and management study, indicating opportunities of improvement and innovation capable of subsidizing such model. It was also found that innovation in management for the UTE depends on the configuration of a management method that observes the organization under the general and specific aspect, being flexible to emerging situations. Finally, this task will serve to other institutions to develop their productive and creative potentials, realizing, then, that innovation can and should occur in the current reality of the organization, be it state or private.
