GOVERNAMENTALIDADE EMPRESARIAL E SABERES ADM/Business governability and ADM know-how/Gubernamentalidad empresarial y conocimiento ADM

It is of interest to discuss how we are currently governed. A way that seems to operate through a given type of mentality every day helps to produce and disseminate means of conduct. ADM know-how, which circulates in the field of administration and extrapolates it, takes part in the production and dissemination of a business mentality which, in turn, is at the basis of current governability. This paper addresses the notion of government, one that does not only refer to political structures and to State management, but also to the means of action over the possibilities of action by others. Itthen addresses the notion of governability in different times, focusing on company or business governability, a sort of mentality that governs all. Based on that, it is possible for government to think of administration know-how as it is exercised nowadays.
