RESUMO

Society, in general, has been quickly changing in all senses. The development of Information and Communication Technologies (TICs) has significantly contributed to accelerate the process of change. Nowadays, individuals virtually share the same interests and goals within the knowledge realm. Information and knowledge nets are built every time. Information globalization and keen competitiveness have affected several fields of knowledge in which Education and Business Management are included. Consequently, preparing and qualifying professionals from the highest levels of an organization, the Business Manager, have also faced this challenge. The present paper is about such preparation which is always modified by the digital technology advancement and its possibilities. A qualitative approach was used and the data collection was bibliographic which analysis was mainly based on documental analysis. This research confirms the thesis that the several competences required by the job market are not being considered in traditional every-day-attendance undergraduate courses and graduate courses of Business Management. Thus, I identify the necessary concepts and competences for a suitable manager profile. I analyse places, trends, and the curricular requirements of Business Management courses offered abroad and in Brazil. I also discuss about the specifications of Distance Learning (EAD) as a modality of teaching-learning. With the information gathered along the research, I finally make a suggestion for graduation with the Distance Learning on-line approach for a graduate course on Business Management, using as a format a web curriculum in ordet to attain the new competences required by the field, simultaneously integrating places which are more suitable and more updated nationally and internationally through the digital technologic flow and a differenciated adult education approach regarding the new contents for graduation of Business Managers.
