Sumario:The Constitution of 1988 provided significant changes in ways of management public organizations. Granted to municipalities autonomy, which assured them important centrality and prominence in public life. Thus, the participation of municipalities in the provision of goods and public services is increasing, sometimes with proper financial compensation for higher levels of government, or else simply assuming the role that legally should be taken by the state and federal governments. Given this situation, the challenges faced by municipalities in the social, financial and political areas have been demanding from administrations effective actions in order to provide adequate quality of life for its citizens. Facing these challenges in municipalities where patrimonial and bureaucratic practices still prevail, sometimes combined with a managerial organization increase the challenge of governments, especially in the case of small towns. In this context, we have analyzed in this work, the public management in small towns in southern Minas Gerais, based on the usege of mandatory instruments of management and planning, as well as identifying the difficulties indicated by the municipal managers to adopt the management model. Analyses were performed from a set of information available in the literature, publications and data from the IBGE's and Accounts Court of State, supplemented by direct research at 16 small towns located in southern Minas Gerais. The analytical matrix used to identify and analyze differences in managerial models (bureaucratic and management) was built from two dimensions of performance of public administration that characterize the managerial model: the institutional-administrative, and economic-financial. In dimension institutional-administrative, the analysis show the existence of a gap in the use of instruments of urban governance and the disinterest of public staff, especially those elected, in their application. The planning tools such as the Master Plan and the PPA are produced only due to legal requirements. In the economic-financial dimension, which constraints are treated in this work, was the fulfillment of the ceiling on personnel expenses and minimum areas of health and education, evidences, as empirical and documentary, show that expenditures are kept within the limits set by the FRL. The evidences presented by this study, considering their limitations, suggest that still survive in municipal management models distinct of public administration, with predominance of patronage and bureaucracy. It was noted, too, attempts to incorporate practice of management model, induced by laws and norms issued by higher authorities of government. Prevails, however, in the small municipalities studied, a scenario where public agents implement political strategies of maintaining purely political spaces with electioneering goals. Finally, we conclude, based on evidence observed during the study, the coexistence of patronage, bureaucracy and the incipient management practices clearly reflect in the the low efficiency and effectiveness of Brazil's municipal governments, mainly, mostly in the small municipalities, which are most needy and dependents.
