Os estados de organização de redes de negócios: discussão e exemplos das redes nas quais estão presentes as cooperativas habitacionais de São Paulo

Resumo (EN)

The objective of this work is to analyze the configuration of the state’s business networking. It is understood by the network status of the business arrangements of the actors in a crosssectional analysis, i.e., the mode shape, the condition of complexity by which the network is and how it is disposed at a given time. The guiding proposition is that it is possible to investigate an organizational state of a set of companies from variables that are sparse and isolated in the literature today, they are: manifestations of interdependence, signs of presence and contents of confidence, signs of presence and content of commitment, nature and resolution of asymmetries, manifestations of governance. The work is founded on assertions of the network society, especially the argument that all organizations are networked. The work is justified because, although the topic of states of organization of the network is relevant, previous literature has revealed few studies on this specific topic. To investigate the theme we chose the real estate where housing cooperatives in the state of São Paulo. The choice of this branch is due to the economic and social importance that cooperatives represent with regard to the lack of housing for the population. The research is characterized as exploratory, qualitative, descriptive, comparative and multiple cases. Specific data collection instruments were created, since no validated instruments were found because of little academic research on the subject. Five networks in which housing cooperatives are present were surveyed. The main conclusion about the research was to have been possible to build configuration states of networks based on the proposed variables. The variable manifestations of interdependence, signs of presence and contents of confidence, signs of impairment and content, nature and resolution of asymmetries and manifestations of governance proved to be able to build the configuration state of a network and differentiate between different network states. The five investigated converged networks on your network condition characterized by formal governance through rational links between organizations and by the existence of a subgroup with more social relationships, which are the actors unions and the cooperative actors. Network A is characterized by a bureaucratic dominance of formal relations, whose current state is stationary and dormant, while the network and also has formal governance, but has social relations and collective actions, proving to be a network evolution and transformation. The work indicates a theoretical benefit in the affirmative sustained on the state of network concept seldom investigated in Brazilian literature. The concept seeks to go beyond the structure, as it covers the contents of the transactions. The methodological benefit is to provide a set of instruments for data collection with items specially constructed for this work. For its uniqueness content of the instruments, require refinement, some of which were suggested in the form of new research.
