Abstract

The interorganisational networks are important in economic life, by facilitating the complex interdependence between transactional and cooperative organisations. A new type of innovation begins to emerge; concerns about social issues begin to appear and to be important for organisations, called social innovation. This study proposes an investigation to prove that when companies organise in networks and use social innovation in a productive system gets economic and social gain. The object of study is a case study of Milk Producers Association of Fartura, São Paulo. This case study showed that association of producers is a social innovation because the association of producers brought social and economic benefits for a community; there have been new products and processes in order to innovate the marketing and production of lasting and sustainable milk.
