Sumario:Karl Mannheim was a philosopher who aimed to understand the sociology of knowledge as a ‘timeless’ philosophy, which can properly handle the problems that arise from the current intellectual situation. This study aims to analyze the emergence of Karl Mannheim's Sociology of Knowledge and its impact on Brazil. We carried out a survey in order to verify what has been made about this author in Brazil and to identify studies and theories that are based on sociological theory mentioned. The study analyzed 14 periodicals and 9 conferences in the Business area. The analysis shows that, despite some restrictions, it is significant the reception of the Sociology of Knowledge in the Brazilian’s sociology which affects the knowledge about the Brazilian’s social reality. However, studies in Business in Brazil lack the theoretical basis of Karl Mannheim. This author has influenced the concept of generation, dissemination of culture, significance analysis, colonialism and the relationship of knowledge and existentialism, although often its theoretical contribution to studies on these topics is neglected.
