O processo de tomada de decisão no seio das organizações e a definição das estratégias
constituem desde sempre um dos maiores desafios para a Administração Pública, sobretudo se se
considerar a forma cada vez mais rápida como a realidade se altera. Este processo é ainda mais
exigente se for tido em conta a crescente necessidade das entidades públicas pautarem a sua
atividade, por níveis de eficiência cada vez maiores. É com este pano de fundo que o presente
estudo procura analisar a forma da tomada de decisão, no seio da comunidade escolar e medir o
alcance dos seus efeitos. Estes efeitos não se cingem apenas à realidade educativa das escolas, na
medida em que, sendo a escola uma importante parcela da comunidade é também sobre esta, que
se produzem alterações. Para este enquadramento foi importante integrar a realidade Escola no
meio onde existem outras instituições de ensino num contexto onde as instituições passaram a se
reger segundo uma realidade concorrencial e nesta perspetiva, foi importante estuda-la com
recurso à Teoria dos Jogos. Como opções metodológicas, a investigação adota o estudo caso e,
nesse ambiente, recorre por um lado à análise documental no contexto escolar e, por outro, ao
estudo estatístico como forma de relacionar variáveis e verificar hipóteses. O estudo aponta,
como consequência da tomada de decisão, não apenas alterações sobre a realidade escolar, mas
também sobre a realidade social envolvente.
One of the major challenges for Public Administration has always been the adoption within its various institutions of decision making processes that lead to optimal decision making and the design and implementation of effective strategies. Decision making in the Public Administration is perhaps more complex and demanding nowadays than it has ever been. This is not only because reality changes at a very fast pace, but also because of the increasing pressure put on public institutions to become more efficient. Having this context as background, the present study discusses decision making within schools, analyses one particular decision made by one school and carefully measures its implications. The study follows the Case Study method approach. The research done is based both on documental analysis and on statistical analysis as a way of finding associations between variables and testing hypothesis. Because the decision considered in the study is made in a situation where more than one school serves the same community and schools compete for students, Game Theory considerations are also used in the analysis of the decision. The study suggests that decisions made by one school may have unintended negative consequences for that school. It also suggests that such decisions may also have implications for the way competing schools interact and for the community that they serve.
