Abstract: The objective of this research is to assess the influence of social networks on the organizational capabilities of the cooperatives operating in the Brazilian dairy segment. The subject of this study arises from the relationship of inter-organizational social networks in managerial capabilities of Brazilian cooperatives operating in the dairy segment. We utilized a structured questionnaire to collect quantitative data. The questionnaire was sent by email and by mail to the leaders of 414 cooperatives. We obtained 348 responses and, after treatment of missing data, 331 of them were analyzed. A theoretical model based on the theoretical framework was proposed and then validated by analysis of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Thus, it was established that inter organizational social networks generate capital and that the cooperatives make use of networks, albeit incipiently. It was noted, too, that inter-organizational social networks can benefit cooperatives’ performance
Abstract: O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar a influência das redes sociais sobre as capacidades gerenciais das cooperativas operando no segmento lácteo. O assunto estudado surge da relação das redes sociais interorganizacionais na capacidade de gestão de cooperativas brasileiras que operam no segmento de lácteo. O questionário foi enviado por e-mail e por correio para os líderes de 414 cooperativas. Foram obtidas 348 respostas e, após o tratamento de dados ausentes, foram analisados 331 deles. Um modelo teórico baseado no referencial teórico foi proposto e, em seguida, validado pela análise de Modelagem de Equações Estruturais (SEM). Assim, estabeleceu-se que as redes sociais interorganizacionais geram capital e que as cooperativas fazem uso de redes, ainda que de forma incipiente. Notou-se, também, que as redes sociais interorganizacionais podem beneficiar o desempenho das cooperativas.
