A confiança e o comprometimento como eixos organizadores dos estados de redes: proposta conceitual e estudo de casos do agronegócio do norte do Paraná

Resumo (EN)

The objective of this work was to present a conceptual proposal about the categories: trust and commitment are the organizing main points of the state network and these two categories, added to the categories of asymmetry and governing characterize the states network, using as example the agribusiness of the northern region of Paraná, specifically the production of banana and grape. It is understood that the state network is the configuration of the presence and content of the selected categories, in drawings of system that changes continually. The main point can be understood as an attraction point where the parts orbit and organize themselves, trying to create equilibrium of the system. The guiding proposition was that the social categories of trust and commitment are the main point of the states of networks. The secondary proposition was that these two social categories joined with asymmetry and governing, characterize the states of networks in their several manifestations. The work justifies itself as by the theorical importance of the theme of social categories as organizers of the states of networks and by the opportunity of following the development of local networks. As the theorical basis it was used some principles of the perspective of the society in networks, specially the affirmative that all the organizations are in networks and some principles of the perspective in the society in networks, mainly the affirmative that there is a social “back cloth” in the technical decisions. From both perspectives, it was selected four categories – trust, commitment, nature and way in solutions of the asymmetries, signals and ways of governing. The present search was characterized to be descriptive – explicative, qualitative, quantitative parametric and of multiple cases. It was created three instruments – instructions for interview with opened questions, questions with affirmatives and instruction of accompaining. The data sustain the propositions and they don’t give occasion to doubts, since they rapidily indicated the exhaustion by the convergence. As the result, it was possible to affirm that the trust and commitment are the base of sustaining of the both networks, where there is a strong social tie as in the group of grape planters and in the group of the banana planters and the four categories were able to characterize a state of networks configuration in two groups, where the grape network presented with a drawing more organized, balanced and the banana network presenting a network with problems and disorganizations due to economic factors. The benefits of this work contributed, theorically, to the study in networks, in the investigation of the surface among four categories, putting both of them as orderly main points of the states of networks and to contribute, methodologically, to the refinement of the instruments of gathering in qualitative categories in network field. Besides this, it helped to a possible management contribution to the representatives of the associations.
