gerenciais

Gerenciais is a Portuguese adjective form related to management. In common usage, it describes topics, processes, information, and systems oriented toward internal decision making within organizations. The term is often contrasted with financeiro (financial) or técnico, highlighting the managerial dimension of information and activities.

In business and administration, gerenciais encompasses areas such as planning, organizing, leading, and controlling resources to achieve objectives. It frequently appears in expressions like informações gerenciais (managerial information), controle gerencial (managerial control), custos gerenciais (managerial costs), and indicadores gerenciais (managerial indicators). The emphasis is on internal use for decision making, performance assessment, and resource allocation rather than external reporting alone.

A key component of gerenciais is the use of systems that support managers in their tasks, notably os sistemas de informações gerenciais (SIG). These systems collect, process, and present data to aid decisions related to operations, marketing, finance, and strategy. Other related areas include gestão da qualidade, gestão de operações, and gestão estratégica, which share the managerial focus of gerenciais.

Education and professional practice often organize content with a gerencial perspective, particularly in business administration, industrial engineering, and economics. Courses and disciplines labeled as gerenciais typically aim to develop competencies in analysis, planning, control, and performance measurement. The term is thus a broad descriptor for the managerial dimension of organizational work.
