The governments are pressured to adapt their institutions and type of action to the context of an increasingly questioning, globalized, complex and interdependent world. These challenges and transformations require innovative public management models, as well as effective tools, procedures and types of action. The objective of this study is to propose a strategy management model, having as its analytical basis the municipal management of Curitiba, in the period from 1993 to 2008. To obtain the answer to this demand, we performed a case study, structured through a research protocol, with the definition of categories and subcategories of analysis. The descriptive analysis was subsidized by the theoretical basis of this study, which was based on the themes municipal management and strategic administration. The main results obtained are related to the phases of the process of strategic administration implemented in the management periods and their respective descriptors. The conclusion allowed the proposition of a strategic management model, resulting from the combination of analysis categories that formed this study, and which represents, in its conception, an alternative of implementation of the management process.
