Abstract

This work summarizes the content of five  lectures  about  the  aspects  that  have hindered  the  process  of  modernization in  the  Brazilian  Army  in  the  last  years. Several causes are signaled. One of those obstacles is of a political nature and it is associated with negative feelings towards the  military  regime  in  1964,  which  has brought  disrepute  on  the  Armed  Forces, depreciation of the Army’s image before intellectuals  and  political  branches,  dis-tance  from  the  Federal  Executive  Power and budget cuts. Another cause is related to  resistance  to  changes  in  the  manage-ment methods as a cultural feature of the organization,  sectorial  view  of  the  gene-ral problem, lack of flexibility in the pro-duction phases of the studies, rejection to contradictions etc. The richness of argu-ment  is  due  to  the  selection  of  speakers and  also  the  attitude  of  the  Army  Staff concerning the theme discussed.
