The purpose of this study is to analyze the logistic and collaborative actions with three associative supermarket networks located in the State of Rio de Janeiro. This research assumes that the business logistic and collaborative actions (vertical and horizontal) have important roles to obtain competitive advantages in an area that is getting more and more unstable, where the only ones to survive are the companies that are able to aggregate value to the client by offering quicker and more efficient answers. The field research is characterized by a multiple case study of qualitative approach, that happens in three associative supermarket network constituted of small and medial business owners. For the database research were elaborated three semi structured and distinctive scripts that allowed the implementation of sixteen interviews. The subjects of the research were the associates or buyers, managers and presidents, members of the three networks. It was concluded that the three networks studied in this research were able to develop throughout their years in business, feelings of trust and reciprocity capable of strengthening the relational coherency between associates. Although, it is important to highlight that the said networks still have a long way to improve until they can really become the "Business Network", nomenclature for which they were designated in this paper. The results found in this research indicate that the three networks need to amplify the scope of their collaborative actions in a way to transcend the stage of joint negotiation and reach a level of cooperation that allows to also be working together. Furthermore, it is necessary that the capacity to provide better gains and offer complementary resources could be extrapolate to something beyond buying or marketing shares, pervading the development of instate a strategy with associates and suppliers, that can contemplate: the improvement of merchandise transportation, managing the stock, managing by categories, defining a mix of products suitable for sale, integrated usage of technology tools of logistic support, amongst others.
