Technical papers

We propose that the authors submit in this technological article section applied research
that prioritizes the learning description, presenting the practical results experienced in the
organizations. The CIMO logic (Van Aken, 2007) brings us some insights for a technical production:
Context (problem situation);

Intervention (intervention proposed to solve the problem presented);
Mechanisms adopted (description of how the problem was solved);
Results Obtained (objectively describe the results obtained in the organization).

Special issue

Invited editor will organize special issues.
