Abstract

This research aims to identify new organizational routines practiced by firms that are members of horizontal interorganizational networks as a result of knowledge acquired through the cooperation. Based on the study by Provan, Fish and Sydow (2007), four different ways to share knowledge in a network are proposed. The method is an exploratory, qualitative approach through a multi-case study. The units of analysis are ten firms that are members of two supermarket networks. In-depth interviews with managers were performed and analyzed by contents analysis. This research brings empirical and theoretical contributions, allowing the understanding of how shared knowledge in a network can transform and develop companies, allowing small details and simple information to contribute to growth and even stay in the market.
