Ações empreendedoras na gestão pública: análise do Programa Crédito Solidário (PCS) em um município do sul de Minas Gerais

Abstract

One of the current trends in the Campo de Públicas is the inclusion of entrepreneurship subject in the discussion on the public policy formulation and implementation. This kind of thinking came from the understanding that with the globalization process it was necessary for the public sector to adapt to changes through a more flexible management that could respond to society’s demands. This research aims to analyze, from the beneficiaries’s point of view of the Programme “Programa Crédito Solidário” (PCS) in a town in the southern of Minas Gerais State, in levels of economic, social and political emancipation of those who benefit from this public policy. It becomes clear how this type of action represents a process of implementation and formulation of public projects in a paradoxical condition, because at the same time it promotes new alternatives for the development of small business from the Economia Solidária (Solidarity Economy), it alters to be rather weak in a context of economical, social and political emancipation of beneficiaries.
