ORGANIZATIONAL MATURITY FOR COLLABORATIVE NETWORKS

FERNANDO ZATT SCHARDOSIN, CARLOS ROBERTO DE ROLT, CAMILA LAIS RAMALHO BATISTA

Abstract


Collaborative networks are partnerships between autonomous, geographically distributed, and heterogeneous actors in terms of operational, cultural environment, social capital, and objectives, rather than collaborating to achieve common or compatible goals. These relationships are important for organizations because they make it possible to share competencies and resources among themselves, which would not be possible in this case in an isolated way. There are many advantages, there are stories of partnerships between organizations that are not successful, which are due to late involvement of interested parties, lack of clarity about roles, responsibilities, and expectations, lack of trust, and lack of basic infrastructure that allows transactions to be carried out. This causes more than half of the efforts in collaborative networks to fail. Efforts of researchers have been directed in recent years to understand this problem, considering that organizational maturity is the factor that can improve this scenario, providing elements for the preparation of organizations to participate in these inter-organizational arrangements. This paper aims to present an instrument for measuring organizational maturity for participation in inter-organizational collaborative networks.
