Resumo: Purpose – The purpose of this study was to analyze the network structure of automotive companies linked by cross-shareholding, joint ventures, manufacturing contracts and alliances, from 2004 to 2012. The study also explored how the network structure affects the competition in the field.Design/methodology/approach – The sample involved 3695 dyads. Based on this data, it was possible to build and assess networks using Gephi and UCINET software. The study considered network analysis metrics such as centrality, group and network densities temporally. Thus, associated with a contextual and longitudinal analysis, the construction of sociograms allowed visualization of the interactional structure and the automakers’ position in the field.Findings – Results showed that the internationalization and growth of automakers and suppliers are made possible through these relationships among companies (cross-shareholding, joint ventures, manufacturing contracts and alliances). Connections may generate greater power, access to resources and market opportunities. It also enhanced the elaboration of inferences about how these resources influence the competition in the field.Originality/value – The increasing importance of this relational resource shapes the industry competitive structure, which is composed of cooperative and competitive relationships found in meso-level orders.

O estudo também explora como a estrutura da rede afeta a concorrência e a disputa de posições no campo.Metodologia – A amostra envolveu 3695 díades. Com base nos dados foi possível construir e avaliar a composição das redes usando os softwares Gephi e UCINET. Além de uma análise contextual e longitudinal, as métricas de análise de rede, como a centralidade, os grupos e a densidade, serviram de método de análise.Resultados – Os resultados mostram como as relações (participações acionárias cruzadas, joint ventures, contratos de manufatura e alianças) entre as empresas sustentam a internacionalização e crescimento de diversas organizações automotivas. As ligações também geram maiores possibilidades de acesso a recursos e oportunidades de mercado.  Também são elaboradas inferências sobre como esses recursos influenciam a concorrência e domínio de posições privilegiadas no campo.Contribuições – A estrutura relacional molda e influencia a estrutura competitiva do campo. No campo, os relacionamentos cooperativos e/ou competitivos são capazes de gerar novas ordens e formas de controle.FECAP2016-10-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por paresapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://rbgn.fecap.br/RBGN/article/view/279810.7819/rbgn.v18i62.2798Review of Business Management; Vol. 18 No. 62 (2016); 505-524RBGN Revista Brasileira de Gestão de Negócios; Vol. 18 Núm. 62 (2016); 505-524RBGN - Revista Brasileira de Gestão de Negócios; v. 18 n. 62 (2016); 505-5241983-08071806-4892reponame:Revista Brasileira de Gestão de Negócios (Online)instname:Fundação Escola de Comércio Álvares Penteado (FECAP)instacron:FECAPengporhttps://rbgn.fecap.br/RBGN/article/view/2798/pdfhttps://rbgn.fecap.br/RBGN/article/view/2798/pdf_1Copyright (c) 2016 Review of Business Managementinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSacomano Neto, MárioMatui, Paulo CesarCandido, Silvio Eduardo AlvarezAmaral, Roniberto Morato do2021-07-21T16:24:47Zoai:ojs.emnuvens.com.br:article/2798Revistahttp://rbgn.fecap.br/RBGN/indexhttps://rbgn.fecap.br/RBGN/oai||jmauricio@fecap.br1983-08071806-4892opendoar:2021-07-21T16:24:47Revista Brasileira de Gestão de Negócios (Online) - Fundação Escola de Comércio Álvares Penteado (FECAP)false
