Abstract

The article aims to analyze the influence from social context in learning management. There are many theoretical approaches to understand how managers learn, and in this article it's discussed, focusing on the interactionist perspective, which highlights the interaction with the environment and context as mediators of the learning process. The management learning is an approach that emerged to fill a gap between theory and practice of management education and development. There are evidences of that learning is not only an individual phenomenon, but collective and that occurs in a context of social participation. It was concluded 28 that the management learning programs should seek reconciling the expertise development related to education with the skills management development and meaning prospective change, from the lived experience in learning rich situations, revealing emancipatory and transformer character from learning.
