In an organizational context in which Knowledge Management has received increasing appreciation, the Communities of Practice appear as a managerial tool to promote organizational learning, which can be seen as an inherently social process. Most of the critical development factors of Communities of Practice are linked to their social structure. Therefore, the final objective is to present a theoretical proposal for the analysis of Communities of Practice under the bias of Social Networks. The analysis of the presented constructs makes it possible to highlight the informal relations existing in Communities of Practice, even when intentionally created.
