Abstract:
As organizations become more complex, it becomes extremely relevant to research and theorize about new models or approaches that would enable the achievement of their goals, with high standards of quality and excellence; evidently, this statement makes perfect sense at the university scope. Therefore, this work has the main purpose of conducting a review of three new organizational theories (Agency Theory, Stewardship Theory, and Stakeholders Theory) that can be perfectly used in the government of Universities. To achieve this purpose, secondary sources are used, composed fundamentally of specialized academic articles. It is concluded that an analysis restricted to only one theory is not enough to address the multidimensionality of the universities, for which is entirely justified to do so from different perspectives and approaches.
