The dynamics of contemporary markets, characterized by volatility and sectoral interdependence, require an evolution of classic management models. This scientific article proposes an exhaustive and technical analysis of "Multifocal Management," conceptualized as the ability to simultaneously manage organizations in distinct verticals — health, civil construction, and benefit services — while maintaining operational integrity and strategic synergy. The methodology adopted consists of a systematic bibliographic review, correlating Ansoff's Diversification Theory, the Resource-Based View (RBV), and the principles of International Business. The study is structured into seven dense thematic axes, exploring everything from systemic risk mitigation to compliance management in heterogeneous regulatory environments. It discusses how the creation of strategic partnership networks generates shared value and sustainable regional development. The results indicate that integrated management, based on solid governance, offers a resilient competitive advantage. It is concluded that the modern administrator must act as an ecosystem architect, capable of crossing sectoral and geographical boundaries.
