- Abstract : Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to seek to fill the gaps found in the literature to understand why and how the partnerships are formed and to map the dynamics of partnership networks of Brazilian electricity companies. Design/methodology/approach: To map the dynamics of partnership networks formed by the Brazilian electricity companies, a social network analysis technique was adopted: R statistical software was used to make calculations and plot these networks. Findings: It was found that the partnership network had a clear potential for an increase in the number of projects; however, the partnerships for the execution of such projects were dispersed. Although the concessionaires established partnerships with diverse institutions, the latter did not intercommunicate. Moreover, when analyzing the projects with respect to the project-type investigated, the institutions engaged in specific project types can be identified; thus, there is an opportunity for concessionaires, authorized contractors and licensed companies to identify the best partners, i.e. those that already possess the expertise to execute specific projects in future partnerships. Originality/value: The purpose of this paper is to fill the gap in partnership network development dynamics to understand how such networks form, change and evolve over time.

Abstract : Objetivo: Tentar preencher as lacunas encontrada na literatura, entender o porquê e como as parcerias ocorrem e também mapear a dinâmica da rede de parcerias estabelecida pelas empresas elétricas brasileiras. Desenho/metodologia/abordagem: Para mapear a dinâmica das redes de parceria formada pelas empresas do Setor Elétrico Brasileiro, foi adotada a Técnica de Análise de Rede Social com o apoio do Pacote Estatístico R para fazer cálculos e desenhar essas redes. Resultados: Os resultados apontaram para o fato de que a Rede teve um potencial aumento no número de projetos, no entanto, as parcerias para a execução de tais projetos foram dispersas. As concessionárias estabeleceram parcerias com diversas instituições, mas estas não se comunicaram entre si. Além disso, ao analisar os projetos em relação aos temas desenvolvidos, é possível identificar as instituições envolvidas em temas de projetos específicos, o que cria uma oportunidade para concessionárias, contratadas e empresas licenciadas para identificar os melhores parceiros, aqueles que já possuem certas competências para executar projetos específicos em futuras parcerias. Originalidade/valor: Este artigo pretende preencher a lacuna em relação à dinâmica de desenvolvimento da rede, entendendo assim a forma como elas se desenvolvem, mudam e evoluem ao longo do tempo.
