This paper has the general objective to describe how strategic conversations between co-directors and people out of reach of direction, contribute to the development of strategies in MPEBT, focusing on selected cases. The sample of this research is composed of three technological companies chosen under standards determined in the research.

The results of this research show that co-directors have strategic conversations with external interlocutors, and that through these conversations, gather important information to the company s competitive edge management. Among the main external interlocutors which have strategic conversations with co-directors there are: people related to institutions of support and fomentation, client company s manager, consultant, partner business executive, family people and supplier. It is possible to conclude from this research that some characteristics as closeness in relations between co-directors and external interlocutor, the skill of communication and comprehension of the strategy from the members of the direction team and the activity practiced by external interlocutor are strongly related to the development of strategic conversations, with its content and its influence on direction teams.
