The aim of this article is to make a reflection of contribution of skills in reading comprehension, in achieving a broader vision and dynamics on business managers interpretation of contexts in which organizations operate. This is an argumentative article, which is based on the theore¹tical framework provided, that includes: 1) a presentation of the approach of "Four Philosophical Dimensions" of Bedard 2) Reading definitions and functions, 3) Reading as "a value", 4) a description of Omar Aktouf vision about traditional management education and its main aspects, 5) a description of an Aktouf education management approach proposal, based on "permanent crítical understanding". This article ends analyzing contributions of reading comprehension in business administration education and enables a wider dynamic vision of contexts in which organizations operate. It concludes that capabilities in reading comprehension are important for the formation of what Aktouf called an "permanent crítical understanding" by managers, and thus to a better understanding of the contexts, dynamics and agents in which organizations operate, which in turn will contribute to better decision-making by managers.

Palabras clave : Reading comprehension; philosophipal dimensions; value of reading; management education; permanent crítical understanding.
