Acesso em:.https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/11196To achieve that, study cases with systemic logic were used to identify how the extension works, identifying decision-making and factors that affect on these decisions. On the empirical stage of the qualitative research, semi-structured interviews were applied to managers of academic and administrative units that are most actives in the academic extension. The interview content were described and analyzed. This study is sustained by a variety of concepts: complex organizations, general theory of systems, theory of management and decision; the Brazilian Universities and academic Extension according to their history, theories and concepts. By analyzing the decision making, it was possible to identify how the Extension works and how project managements occur within the university and the Academic Extension. The depositions showed a direct association between University, Society and Extension, an extensive diversity of extension activities within UFPA, the professor as the most important subject/of extension, and that decisions follow an ascended hierarchical flow that affects the entire processAcesso AbertoExtensão universitáriaSistemasGestão da extensão universitáriaTomada de decisãoDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS SOCIAIS APLICADAS::ADMINISTRACAO::ADMINISTRACAO PUBLICA::ORGANIZACOES PUBLICASGESTÃO DE ORGANIZAÇÕES PÚBLICASGESTÃO PÚBLICA DO DESENVOLVIMENTO
