Resumo

Objetivo: Este ensaio teórico tem como objetivo explorar como o controller participa do processo de formação da estratégia, da perspectiva da estratégia como prática.

Método: Foi desenvolvido um ensaio teórico acerca dos principais problemas relacionados ao papel do controller nas organizações, por meio de uma explicação geral do modelo teórico de estratégia como prática, proposto por Jarzabkowski e Spee (2009).

Originalidade/Relevância: Propõe-se uma nova abordagem para os estudos de contabilidade gerencial, reunindo-se dois campos de conhecimento — controladoria e estratégia — sob uma perspectiva construtivista, que investiga o papel do controller como parceiro de negócios e praticante da estratégia. Desse modo, os controllers atuam como uma gerência intermediária na implementação de estratégias organizacionais, desempenhando papel fundamental na tradução da estratégia e em sua comunicação, além das questões operacionais.

Resultados: A partir da interseção entre os dois temas, três proposições gerais foram desenvolvidas, relacionando-se os elementos da estratégia como prática (prática, práxis e praticantes) ao papel do controlller, que serve de base para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas futuras. As implicações deste ensaio teórico limitam-se pelo aspecto teórico e empírico, mas abrem caminho para futuros estudos teóricos ou empíricos que contribuem para os avanços da pesquisa em contabilidade gerencial.

Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: Este ensaio teórico analisa o papel do controller na perspectiva micro-organizacional da estratégia como prática, no sentido de identificar possibilidades de pesquisas futuras que unam as duas linhas de conhecimento.
