Abstract

Research into Management Networks is not a dominant paradigm, which leaves it open for discussions on its statements, models and theories. This paper analyzes the contributions made by Brazilian theses on networks in the area of management, from 2004 to 2013. For this purpose, criteria that define contribution are used, for both national and international literature, resulting in a chart of 12 originality and 8 significance indicators. 23 theses were identified as dealing with the subject of networks. Content analysis was employed on explicit contributing texts and a search of the keywords for each of the 20 indicators. As the subject of networks presents multifaceted concepts, research methodologies and management models, it is beneficial to discuss and develop new approaches and contributions were expected at all three levels. The results indicate, however, that theoretical contributions were practically non-existent, methodological contributions were limited, focusing on improvements, and managerial contributions were most common, especially when focused on local networks. The results and analysis show that more research and a deeper discussion on this subject are needed. These could include coordinators and supervisors due to the pre-paradigmatic nature of the topic.
