Poeta e Pensador de Marketing? Uma Análise dos Escritos de Fernando Pessoa sobre Gestão

Abstract

There has been a growing interest of marketing researchers in understanding the course of the discipline and its variations in different times and places. The present work aims to carry out a survey of the works of the poet Fernando Pessoa related to management, written in the 1920s, and to analyze their content in order to point out its association with themes that are currently discussed in the discipline of marketing. Therefore, we bring in the theoretical framework the discussion about the scope of the discipline based on the macromarketing / micromarketing dichotomy (Hunt & Burnett, 1982), which serves as a basis for understanding marketing knowledge. Fernando Pessoa's papers dedicated to management were selected and constituted the corpus of data, which was analyzed based on the traditional content analysis with the support of MaxQDA 2018 data analysis software. Finally, we note that Pessoa's writings indicate that the knowledge and practices of commerce discussed at that time in Portugal already pointed to themes that are now part of the consolidated marketing knowledge, such as market segmentation, marketing guidance and marketing systems.
