Sector, Domain and Dimension: a New Systematization of the Scientific Production form the Masters of Hospitality from the Universidade Anhembi Morumbi - 2004 to 2013

Abstract

The subject of this article is the systematization of the scientific knowledge on hospitality of academic researches defended at the Master’s of Hospitality at the Universidade Anhembi Morumbi (UAM). In order to do so, I have considered hospitality and the categories sector, domain and dimension as indexes to the analysis of these studies. In this regard, it presents the objective of systematizing the dissertations from these categories and identifying their authors’ profile. Characterized as a explanatory-descriptive study, the documentary research was guided by the content analysis of the teachers’ curriculum in lattes and the 227 thesis defended between 2004 and 2013, based on authorship, title, abstract, key word and year of defense. The results reveal the balance between the two lines of research within the program, but with specific characteristics in each of them; the low incidence of studies in the virtual and domestic domains; tourism and means of accommodation as being the sectors most approached in every year of this period; the economic dimension as being the most significant. It shows the need of deepening the theoretical framework, which validates the establishment of the analysis categories and their variables.
