AB  - Through a case study this paper describes how a company from the Building Industry, located in Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul, Southern Brazil, strategically adapted the perception of its dominant coalition. The study was developed through a qualitative research, using Pettigrew’s (1987) methodology and the three strategic dimensions: context, content and process. Besides the qualitative character (Trivinõs 1992) and the contextual analysis (Pettigrew 1987), the longitudinal and historical vision were also used (Kimberly 1976; Salama 1992). Due to the methodology adopted, our concern was not to generalize, in a statistical sense, the results of this study. What we aimed at was to present elements to aid in the explanation of the strategic adaptation process of the analyzed organization.
