Abstract

From the 1990s onwards, the spread of technological, organizational innovations reached the Brazilian industry, above ali the automotive sector. In addition, a decentralization movement of industries has remained. A research dealing with Mit-subishi (MMC) in Catalão (state of Goiás), however, revealed the permanence ofoutmoded conceptions in the work and production organization associated withnew management trends in this company. SO, unlikely most ofthe motor industries in Brazil, MMC uses intensely Fordism's methods and Taylorism's principies, besides keeping an outdated technical approach. At the same time, despite the adverse scenario in recent years as in 2003, MMC expands its yearly production and,therefore, succeeds in increasing sales, even with an obsolete way of organizingwork and production. The research also revealed that, regarding motor industry, a centralized decentralization movement has prevailed. In the case of Mitsubishi, ahighway and railway net, the proximity to consumers, government's inv  attraction  policies, and the links of Catalão with a development area in the southeast region motivated MMC to set up its plant in this city.
