Abstract
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo discutir o desenvolvimento dos cursos superiores em Administração no Brasil entre os anos 1940 e 1950 a partir dos acordos de cooperação entre Brasil e EUA. Inicialmente discutimos brevemente a metodologia utilizada para coleta dos dados e, em seguida, apresentamos uma discussão sobre as relações bilaterais entre os países. Posteriormente tecemos considerações sobre os cursos superiores em Administração que contaram com o apoio estadunidense, além de refletirmos sobre os próprios acordos. Concluímos que a dita "americanização" da Administração no Brasil tem raízes profundas e que, para que um saber mais autoconsciente seja construído e fortalecido, devemos refletir sobre a constituição da própria área, sobre como as influências de modelos estrangeiros são recebidas e articuladas. Por fim, sugerimos que futuras pesquisas poderiam aprofundar as discussões realizadas, ao fazer estudos específicos sobre a história dos cursos superiores em Administração brasileiros, especialmente os que participaram de acordos com outras instituições.

Summary
The aim of this text is to discuss the development of higher education courses in Management in Brazil in the 1940s and 1950s through cooperation agreements signed between Brazil and the United States of America (USA). Our starting point was the idea that Brazil was a passive actor in these exchanges, having actively sought technical cooperation from the USA to provide the country with the conditions to accelerate Brazilian economic development This led us to some agreements signed by the two countries for the transfer of managerial knowledge, techniques and models from the United States to Brazil. We present our final considerations with the conclusions we formed and pointing out potential paths for future studies
