“…The awareness of all aspects involved in each life cycle stage leads towards actions to develop lacking characteristics and make advances towards consolidation more manageable. Lastly, the model resulting from this study and the empirical evidence reinforces the relevance and the role of interpersonal relationships and management efforts throughout all stages of an ION's life cycle, as also noted by other studies of interorganizational relationships (Provan & Kenis, 2007;Wegner & Padula, 2012).…”

“…In the Brazilian context, several studies highlighted the motivations for cooperation (Verschoore & Balestrin, 2008a), network outcomes (Castro, Bulgacov, & Hoffmann, 2011;Marchi, Cassanego, & Wittmann, 2012;Verschoore & Balestrin, 2008b), learning processes (Balestrin et al, 2008;Estivalete, Pedrozo, & Cruz, 2008), difficulties faced by IONs (Esteves & Nohara, 2011;Wegner & Padula, 2012) and cooperation management (Bortolaso, Verschoore, & Antunes, 2012;Kwasnicka, 2006). However, only a small number of studies examined network developmental trajectories (Bortolaso et al, 2012;Camargo, Verschoore, & Padilha, 2013).…”

Interorganizational agreements and cooperative business networks became an important strategy for companies facing competitive disadvantages. Specially small and medium firms adopted collaborative network models as a way to overcome common problems. Over 1,000 small-firm networks (SFNs) are estimated to have been created in Brazil since the year 2000. This study aimed to propose a SFNs life cycle model, applying it to a sample of twenty-eight SFNs established in two regions of southern Brazil. The results revealed that 68% of the analyzed SFNs are declining or no longer in business. Among the active business networks, 21% remain at the development stage, and only 11% have achieved consolidation. Most SFNs analyzed fell into a stage of decline early on in the life cycle, incapable of reaching Consolidation. Although results are restricted to the analyzed sample, our study highlights that major managerial efforts are necessary to reach the consolidation stage due to network complexity and expectations of network members. We conclude the paper by presenting subsidies for public policy makers and strategies that SFNs may adopt to reach the status of consolidated networks.

“…Note that cooperation demands coordination efforts because PPPs are formed by partners with their own management cultures and practices. Therefore, as noted by Wegner and Padula (2012), monitoring expectations and to what extent they remain aligned as the partnership progresses is important to maintain the parties' interest in collaborating.…”

This study identifies the relationship between stakeholders and critical success factors in the Brazilian Government Public Private Partnerships (PPPs). We have studied two Brazilian Government PPPs using an exploratory and descriptive qualitative approach. Stakeholders were categorized based on the Mitchell et al. (1997) and Frooman (1999) models. We have showed that i) the models are complementary since some of the most influential stakeholders are also the most powerful; ii) beyond stakeholders and critical factors already mentioned in literature, we have found one new stakeholder (UNDP) and one new critical factor (compliance with recommendations of oversight bodies). This research has a practical contribution as it identifies critical factors associated with the most important stakeholders, enabling decision makers to design a relationship strategy for dealing with such players, taking into account the factors that facilitate or hinder the PPP structuring process.[Artigo recebido em 15 de julho de 2019.

Os resultados demostram que: i) os modelos são complementares já que alguns dos stakeholders mais influentes são também os mais poderosos; ii) além dos stakeholders e fatores críticos já mencionados na literatura, encontramos neste estudo um novo ator (PNUD) e um novo fator crítico (atendimento às recomendações dos órgãos de fiscalização). Esta pesquisa tem importância prática, pois identifica fatores críticos associados aos stakeholders mais importantes, permitindo que os tomadores de decisão elaborem uma estratégia de relacionamento para lidar com tais atores, levando em consideração os fatores que facilitam ou dificultam o processo de estruturação da PPP.Palavras-chave: Parceria Público-Privada, Stakeholders, Fatores Críticos Stakeholders y factores críticos em las alianzas público privadas del Gobierno FederalEste estudio identifica la relación entre los stakeholders y los factores críticos de las Alianzas Público Privadas (PPPs) del Gobierno Federal.

“…Therefore, the concern of the researchers is to understand the network structure by means of cooperative behavior among different actors, communication through information and learning exchange between members and trust behavior within the network. Such understanding enables an evaluation on levels of cooperation, all the way from an analysis of the encouraging precedents for stablishing a network, throughout its results and to the discouraging factors for its existence (Xavier, Paiva, Alves, & Medeiros, 2015;Wegner & Padula, 2012;Andrighi et al, 2011;Balestrin et al, 2010).…”

“…For instance, in literature, several encouraging factors for network operation are presented, such as: access to strategic resources and competences, new knowledge acquisition, economies of scale and/or objectives scope and congruence (Ebers, 2015;Mendonça, Teixeira, Bernardo, & Fonseca Netto, 2012;Chauvet, Chollet, Soda, & Huault, 2011;Balestrin et al, 2010). Regarding discouraging factors for network operation, the profile of participating companies, such as economic, strategic and structural characteristics, may generate opportunism, mistrust and uncertainty within relationships (Xavier et al, 2015, Wegner & Padula, 2012.…”

Purpose: The aim of this article is to identify which factors encourage and/or discourage companies to operate as a network, based on the Technology, Innovation and Knowledge Firms Network (TIKFN). Originality/value: Few advances have been made in the literature to understand the technology-based firms’ cooperation networks (TBFs), which have different characteristics, especially in relation to levels of uncertainty and innovation. Design/methodology/approach: It was conducted a Study Case on this paper. Therefore, data were collected through documents, semi structured questionnaires and focal groups to assure data source triangulation. Additionally, data analysis consisted of networks structural analysis, regression analysis and content analysis by frequency and category. Findings: Among the observed results, it is noticeable that congruence of objectives, length of participation and network strengthening represent the encouraging factors for network operation. On the other hand, asymmetric interests, low actors’ engagement and lack of active management are the discouraging factors. In order to assure the credibility of this study, results were evaluated through two focal groups composed by the network managers and participants, thus increasing the authenticity of the study. Results can be considered relevant as they contribute to understand the behavior of technology companies in a network, whose characteristics differ from other interorganizational networks especially regarding uncertainty levels and access to resources and information.
