Planejamento estratégico e a melhoria da gestão pública: o caso do Ministério Público do Estado da Bahia.

Abstract

The construction of a strategy through the implementation of a strategic planning methodology is of fundamental importance for the Public Administration. This initiative aims to mitigate problems such as the discontinuity of institutional projects and their repercussions on the management of organizations due to the alternation of power, characteristic of this area. The relevance of the study is justified because, with the increasing use of strategic planning also increases the interest of academia and the demand of public managers for more information on the subject. For these reasons, the time is ripe for conducting research that would bring challenges to the use of strategic planning and its impacts on improving public management. This descriptive research with quantitative and qualitative approaches aimed to analyze the impact that the use of strategic planning methodology had on the management of a public institution such as the Public Prosecution Service of the State of Bahia - MPBA, in the period between 2003 and 2018. Data were collected through questionnaires applied to all members of the institution, as well as interviews with members and staff that deal directly with strategic planning in the various areas of the institution, as well as interviews with experts in Strategy and Public Management (academics and effective servants holding positions and management). The measured results point to a gradual evolution in the way the institution is managed, with an impact on the improvement of project planning and execution, with continuously monitored indicators showing a high degree of physical and budgetary execution
