Enterprise networks and cooperation in the formation of a Tech Town condominium

This paper presents a case study with the objective of understanding the cooperative relationship between the enterprise networks in the Tech Town Condominium, located in the municipality of Hortolândia, which belongs to metropolitan region of Campinas, Brazil. This study focuses on the main challenges and opportunities for the development of a major software producer and services provider center based on the global network concept. The results point to the fact that although the condominium was created with the goal to form a technopole, its enterprises are part of global networks and do not effectively contribute to learning and innovation processes of local enterprises.
