Life Cycle of the Cooperation Networks Environment: A Case Study of a Construction Company’s Project of an Automotive Motor Firm

Abstract

A cooperation enterprises network is defined as a group of companies which interact among themselves to exchange competences, therefore, a series of necessities from companies, which would be important in a manufacturing company, and also be in the cooperation network. Through organizational modeling, the manager has a greater view and quicker understanding of the company, which allows the integration among the company's components. An industrial construction project (in this case an automotive motor firm) is characterized by an inter-organizational relationship between companies and an analytical approach based on the life cycle of virtual organization ( as a form of cooperation network) is adequate to identify and model functions, once several resources and competences must be guided by an information flow.
