Sistemas de controle e alinhamento estratégico: uma análise do equilíbrio entre as alavancas de Simons e o alinhamento com a estratégia de uma instituição pública de ensino superior

A growing number of studies has sought to analyze assessed the relationship between control mechanisms and strategic alignment. However, the studies that evaluate this relation in public institutions of higher education are scarce, in particular making use of the proposed control mechanisms by Simons (1995). Thus, the objective of this study is to assess the balance of the levers of control - proposed by Simons (1995) -, identifying the alignment of the controls with the strategic objectives of deployment of UNILA - Universidade Federal da Integracao Latino-Americana. Data collected through survey research, with operational indicators extracted from the scale proposed by Damke et al. (2011), and analyzed through descriptive statistics and correlations, revealed a balanced presence of the levers in the institution and significant correlation with the strategic alignment variable. For the analisis, is was possible to conclude that the operational indicators are qualified to evaluate the strategic alignment and that the institution offers balanced levers.
