The Brazilian production model of science and technology has as main vector the graduate programs, which use parameters and results of the Evaluation System of CAPES to establish goals for their own development. This study aims to answer the following question: How to characterize the population of levels 6 and 7 by Administration, Accounting and Tourism area in CAPES evaluation program? The objective of this research is, therefore, to discuss about the population of the levels 6 and 7 by Administration, Accounting and Tourism area in triennial evaluations of 2010 and 2013, compared with other areas which are included in CAPES evaluation program. The exploratory study was based on analysis of secondary data provided by CAPES, with the results of the triennial reviews of 2010 and 2013. Results showed that although the growth of percentage scientific production percentage in A1 and A2 journals and rising percentage of doctoral education in comparison with other areas of knowledge, this area didn't achieve growth of population of levels 6 and 7 in the triennial review in 2013 compared to 2010. This scenario induces distortion in the evaluation system, because, despite main analyzed variables indicate the evolution of the area, the final results, with the assignment of concepts 6 and 7 to the programs, don't reflect this progress. Thus, the increased population of these strata in triennial evaluations can correct these contradictions and at the same time allow programs to use the information from the evaluation as an aid to management, aiming its improvement and enabling the development of the area.
