Abstract

Due to specific characteristics that have and the influence that suffer from various sectors, the Federal Institutions of Higher Education have imported and adapted management tools used successfully in business institutions, such as planning. Some planning tools, however, are made compulsory under the law, such as the Institutional Development Plan (IDP). The Federal University of Fronteira Sul (UFFS), object of study of this work, has its institutional planning consists of the tools: Institutional Development Plan, Multiannual Plan (PPA) and Annual Planning (PA). This work aims to analyze the UFFS's institutional planning. Thus, about methodological procedures this research is classified as qualitative, descriptive and applied, and used the procedures of bibliographic research, documentary research, field research and case study. For data collection were used document research, with analysis of the planning parts and other documents provided by the university, semi-structured interviews conducted with some servers who participated and participate in the development of this planning, and questionnaire administered to a sample of other servers university. As a result, it was observed that the university was strongly influenced by political, conjuncture and economic factors in its creation, that made its initial planning, in a way, be put aside. As regards the current planning, this isn't considered a static process, and it's in constantly improving. One of the changes already made in planning refers to the PPA. Its structure and logic of operation were changed this year, turning its focus on the development of the university and facilitating the allocation of resources to actions. Regarding these actions, it was observed that a considerable number of shares remained with the situation "running" at the end of the year when part of them should be completed in this way, it was noticed a weakness in the monitoring stage of the action plans. In the questionnaires applied to the servers it was observed that some of these know little about the institutional planning, and this is due, in special, to the lack of disclosure. It should be noted that it is clear that many servers do not see the importance of planning and it is up to pro-rectory of planning disseminate and publicize the planning with the help of the planning articulators and advisory, so that it will be seen as a necessary tool to the university and not just as a tool imposed by a university sector to bureaucratizing the service of others.
