• Resumen

  • The goal is to map the main studies, published in the national and international literature, on SMEs networks in order to consolidate the different views on the advantages of joining a network of companies. For this purpose, it was selected by means of a structured process, a Bibliographic portfolio (PB). This study of descriptive and bibliographic character concluded that the shown advantages by researchers, in both contexts, are congruent and complementary - gains in the managerial aspects, joint development of new products, cost reduction, access to new markets, access to specialized workers - and important for the improvement of the SMEs competitiveness.
