Resumo: | Alliances and strategic networks gained prominence in the field of business administration, being viewed as a means for acquiring resources that provide a sustainable competitive advantage. In this context, competition occurs between groups that form a strategic network. However, commitment to the network can also create problems for a company. This happens when the company ceases to do business because the relationship causes restrictions to the change process, maintaining the firm in what is called a lock-in situation. This article describes the case of Dataprev, a state owned company specialized in information technology services, which decides to change its strategy with respect to its partnership with a supplier, but, because this relationship has created a lock-in situation, it cannot implement the new strategy within the necessary time-frame. The research was conducted by way of a documental investigation as well as interviews with company managers from May to June 2007. While making evident the difficulty to implement the new strategy due to this lock-in situation, it provided insights lessons for companies in similar situations. |

Neste ambiente, a competição ocorre entre grupos que compõem uma determinada rede estratégica. Por outro lado, o compromisso com sua rede também pode trazer problemas para uma empresa. Isto se dá quando a empresa deixa de fazer negócios porque os relacionamentos causam restrições para um processo de mudança, mantendo a empresa focal amarrada a uma situação, chamada de lock-in. Este artigo descreve o caso da Dataprev, uma empresa pública de serviços de tecnologia da informação, que toma a decisão de mudar sua estratégia com relação à sua parceria com um fornecedor, mas que, devido a este relacionamento ter criado uma situação de lock-in, não consegue implementar a nova orientação estratégica no tempo desejado. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio da análise de documentos e entrevistas com gerentes da empresa no período de maio e junho de 2007. Evidenciou a dificuldade, devido ao lock-in, da implementação da nova estratégia. Forneceu lições para empresas que se encontram neste tipo de situação.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2008-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/5093Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 6 No. 4 (2008); 1 a 12Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 6 Núm. 4 (2008); 1 a 12Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 6 n. 4 (2008); 1 a 121679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/5093/3827Tinoco, Joao Paulo VieiraMacedo-Soares, T.
