Mckinsey & Company e o jogo da consultocracia em rede na educação básica

Abstract

This work has sought to highlight the dispute for basic education in the game of entrepreneurs in the world market of knowledge, apprehending the modus operandi of the international consulting firm McKinsey & Company in the consolidation of strategic ties with organic intellectuals who lead the worldwide movement of the corporate reform of basic education. Based on historical materialism and more specifically on the Gramscian concept of organic intellectual, we verified that a powerful industry specialized in educational matters drivers a process of commodification via networking consultocracy. In this way, considering the logic of corporate reforms to basic education that are exported worldwide, based on the unity of form and content that involves networking consultocracy strategies and the fundamentals of managerialist effectiveness, we identified that McKinsey spreads its expertise on educational matters through its reports about school systems, seeking to create demand for the sale of its educational solution packages.
