ResumoA partir da abordagem de Recursos Internos e da Teoria Evolucionária, entende-se que a estratégia das firmas dá-se em função das suas capacidades organizacionais e em função da variabilidade das mudanças institucionais e tecnológicas, sendo isso determinante para o seu crescimento. Sendo assim, pretende-se analisar as estratégias da Brasil Telecom, que, ao longo do período analisado, foram influenciadas por esses fatores. A seleção da Brasil Telecom como unidade de estudo de caso foi devido a sua representatividade no setor de telecomunicações. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo de caráter descritivo, com dados primários coletados por meio de entrevista semi-estruturada com dois representantes do setor de serviços corporativos da organização estudada. Destacou-se três cenários importantes na determinação das estratégias da empresa: a) um momento de perda da segurança e estabilidade como empresa estatal devido às mudanças no quadro institucional (privatizações), juntamente com mudanças tecnológicas devido ao grande avanço do setor; b) um momento de mudança na sua gestão também em decorrência da percepção dessas mudanças institucionais; c) um momento caracterizado por uma busca pela convergência entre as tecnologias do setor, com o intuito de alcançar uma sinergia nos seus serviços.Palavras-chave: Setor de telecomunicações; Inovação; Estratégia.

“…TCE is most closely associated with the work of Williamson (1973Williamson ( , 1981Williamson ( , 1985Williamson ( , 1991, although it has since been copiously critiqued, built on, and in some cases muddied Osborn and Hagedoorn, 1997;Holmstrom and Roberts, 1998;Slater and Spencer, 2000;Jones, 2001). Developed from inquiries into the reason for the presence of firms, TCE's answer rests on the presence of costs in the organisation of economic activity, or transactions, and cost differen-tials between operations carried out within the firm and bought on the open market.…”

Abstract. This paper applies the transaction cost framework to the organisation of product sourcing and development (PS&D) activities within the popular music industry. Two firm types characterise the industry and this particular set of activities; large multinational firms ('majors') and smaller regionally bound companies ('independents'). We find that the Transaction Cost Economies framework of Oliver Williamson (1985Williamson ( , 1999 provides only a partial explanation for the observed hybrid organisational structures established by the two firm types. A more sensitive model can be achieved by including a number of moderating variables drawn from the socially constructed and situationally dependent idiosyncrasies of the assets involved in the PS&D activities under consideration.

“…However, the theoretical approach considers, on the other hand, aspects related to human behavior: limited rationality and opportunism. Uncertainty and level of competitiveness may vary according to market nuances (Gary & Spencer, 2000;Arbage, 2004;Silva, 2006;Schubert, 2012).…”

Resumo: No presente trabalho abordaremos o processo das relações interorganizacionais utilizando em sua análise duas perspectivas: a dependência de recursos e a teoria dos custos de transação. No primeiro momento, o texto Palavras-chave: Dependência de recursos; Custos de transação; Relações interorganizacionais.Abstract: The present study addresses the process of inter-organizational relationships from two theoretical perspectives: resource dependence and transaction costs. First, the text presents a bibliographic review on the two theoretical constructs; next, it discusses how the use of these theories can contribute to understanding the interorganizational phenomenon. Despite the divergence between the two perspectives, the authors conclude that they are convergent based on the bibliographic review. The convergence of these conceptions relates to the fact that organizational relations are a key factor for the functioning of companies. The resource dependence perspective suggests that resources are distributed in the environment and that firms develop organizational relationships to obtain them; in contrast, the perspective of transaction costs refers to the relations of economic exchange between organizations. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the assumptions of these two theoretical perspectives to understand inter-organizational relationships.
