Abstract
This paper focuses on the evaluation of engineered networks created and supported by a public policy, namely cooperation networks program (CNP), guided by the Government of Rio Grande do Sul State, in Brazil. Since the year 2000, the CNP fostered the establishment of more than 200 SFNs in the region, turning this state into the main empirical field of studies on interorganisational networks in Brazil. This context raises questions regarding the SFNs genesis and its consequences. The paper, thus, seeks to answer the following question: can it be affirmed that structure and process influence the Brazilian engineered SFNs outcome? To do so, a quantitative research was conducted with the CNP networks based on the categories structure, process, and outcome. The results indicate that through an adequate network evaluation, it is possible to measure and compare results, besides facilitate intervention decisions for course corrections and obtain the targeted collective gains.
期刊介绍：
There is an increasing demand for transportation solutions that are responsive, safe, sustainable, smart and cost-efficient. This has resulted in increased emphasis on responsive intermodal transportation systems. WRITR provides an international forum for the critical evaluation and dissemination of research and development in all areas related to intermodal transportation. Research disseminated via WRITR has significant impact on both theory and practice, and is of value to academics, practitioners and policy makers in this field. Topics covered include: -International trade and transportation -Infrastructure, network design and optimisation -Design, planning and control of transportation systems -Intermodal, intelligent and sustainable transportation solutions -Transportation modes (air, rail, road, sea, pipe) -Transportation cost/benefit analysis -Railroad, terminal and port development -Port/terminal operations and management -Warehousing and inventory management -Transportation regulations, standards and security -Environmental impact, liability and insurance -Risk analysis and management -Information technology and decision support systems -Strategic alliances and relationship management -Government involvement and incentives
