Previous issue date: 2010-06-18 === The Federal Institution for Education, Science and Technology, in its historical path, has been living different changes. The transformations occurred along the way have been determined by coercive forces from the institutional environment, which has became more and more broad and complex throughout the time, obtaining diverse characteristics and new elements such as non institutional factors1 which started to contribute with the other changes. In this context, this work aims to study the isomorphic practices of the managers in the institutional changes process of the IFRN in 1998 and 2008, as of a theoretical coevolutionary perspective (CHILD; RODRIGUES; LEWIN; CARROL; VOLBERDA, 2003). This theory brings a new point of view for the organization analysis to the organizational studies, since it offers a non deterministic and non linear lection of the evolution process, which means, a coevolution. Thus, the organizations and their institutional and non institutional environment auto evolve, auto organize and auto reproduce. Therefore, the institutional and non institutional factors of the macro environment keep a continuous interdependence relationship with the organizations. For the means of this study, it is important to understand that is impossible to comprehend the object, the isomorphic practices, without considering that the previous institutional changes and its evolutions, its continuations and discontinuations, important in the coevolution process. As such, to call upon the institutional historical track is a fundamental aspect to materialize this study, for the recursive movement is indeed present in the coevolution. Another important point to make this research effective is that it is not possible to abdicate from the hologramatic view2 of this study, which considers the object, the isomorphic practices, part of the whole and this whole is also in the parts, therefore it is impossible to comprehend the object of study outside the context where it belongs. With this, as of the objective previously proposed, it is necessary to describe the characteristics of coevolution of the institutional changes related in 1998 and 2008; analyze the dynamic of the isomorphic mechanisms in its respective institutional change process; and describe the lessons learned which the isomorphic practices left to the IFRN, regarding its benefits and difficulties. All these transformations happened through coercive forces3 of the institutional environment. As of the Nineties, these forces became stronger, the environment became broader and more complex, with the emergency of new environmental factors. This study proposed to study the managing process and its practices, related to the micro environment, although it is required to articulate these actions, the demands and requirements from the macro environment. To make this research effective, semi structured interviews have been conducted with the managers who participated in both institutional change processes. In the results analysis, it has been possible to verify the particularity of each change, the one from 1998 with a strong normative action of the managers against coercive forces from the government for the search of recognition and the institutional legitimation and the one in 2008, which has been characterized by the normative action by managers in agreement with the coercive forces from the government, in favor of the government policy for the technological professional education. However, the results analysis it is possible to notice the evidence of a belonging feeling from the interviewed managers === O Instituto Federal de Educa??o, Ci?ncia e Tecnologia, em sua trajet?ria hist?rica, tem vivenciado diversas mudan?as. As transforma??es ocorridas ao longo do tempo foram determinadas por for?as coercitivas do ambiente institucional, que ao longo do tempo foi se tornando complexo e amplo, adquirindo caracter?sticas diversas e novos elementos como os fatores n?o-institucionais1 que passaram a contribui com as demais mudan?as. Nesse contexto, este trabalho objetiva estudar as pr?ticas isom?rficas dos gestores nos processos de mudan?as institucionais no IFRN nos per?odos de 1998 e 2008, partindo de uma perspectiva te?rica coevolutiva (CHILD; RODRIGUES; LEWIN; CARROL; VOLBERDA, 2003). Essa teoria traz para os estudos organizacionais uma nova ?tica de an?lise das organiza??es, pois oferece uma leitura n?o determinista e n?o linear do processo de evolu??o, significando uma co-evolu??o. Nesse sentido as organiza??es e seus ambientes institucionais e n?o institucionais se autoevoluem, se autoorganizam e se autoreproduzem. E, dessa forma, os fatores institucionais e os n?o-institucionais do ambiente macro mant?m uma rela??o de interdepend?ncia cont?nua com as organiza??es. Para fins desse estudo, se faz importante entender que ? imposs?vel compreender o objeto, as pr?ticas isom?rficas, sem considerar as mudan?as institucionais anteriores e suas evolu??es, suas continuidades e descontinuidades, importantes no processo coevolutivo. Para tanto, recorrer ? trajet?ria hist?rica institucional ? um aspecto fundamental para a concretiza??o do estudo, pois o movimento recursivo faz-se presente na coevolu??o. Outro aspecto ? que n?o se pode abdicar da vis?o de hologram?tica2, que considera o objeto, as pr?ticas isom?rficas, parte constituinte de um todo e que esse todo, tamb?m est? nas partes, sendo imposs?vel compreender o objeto, descolado do contexto do qual faz parte. Com esse entendimento, partindo do objetivo proposto, ? necess?rio, descrever as caracter?sticas de co-evolu??o das mudan?as institucionais referentes aos per?odos de 1998 e 2008; analisar a din?mica dos mecanismos isom?rficos nos respectivos processos de mudan?a institucional; e descrever o aprendizado que as pr?ticas isom?rficas deixaram para o IFRN. Todas essas transforma??es se deram por for?as coercitivas3 do ambiente institucional. A partir da d?cada de 90 essas for?as se intensificaram, o ambiente se tornou mais amplo e complexo, com a emerg?ncia de novos fatores ambientais. No entanto, prop?e-se estudar o processo de gest?o e suas pr?ticas, referentes ao ambiente micro, embora necessite articular essas a??es, ?s demandas e exig?ncias do ambiente macro. Para a efetiva??o da pesquisa foram feitas entrevistas semi-estruturadas com os gestores que participaram dos dois processos de mudan?as institucionais. Nas an?lises dos resultados foram constatadas as particularidades de cada mudan?a, a de 1998 com uma forte a??o normativa dos gestores contra as for?as coercitivas do Estado na busca do reconhecimento e legitimidade institucional e a de 2008, que se caracterizou pela a??o normativa dos gestores em conson?ncia com as for?as coercitivas do Estado, em favor da pol?tica do governo para a educa??o profissional tecnol?gica. Na an?lise dos resultados percebe-se a evid?ncia de um sentimento de pertencimento por parte dos gestores entrevistados
