This study case, whose method combines the value chain and the analysis of social networks, focuses on the identification of factors that contribute to the development and implementation of an in interorganizational network inside the production chain of pork. The systematization of the value chain of various types of unities of swine production allows the compreehension of the dynamics of the incorporation of the specific activities of the swine breeding by the meat processing plant that, for the suply itself and from its performance in the production chain of broiler, assumes the coordination of the integrated activies. On the other side, this systematization of the production chain of the broiler and pork allows the identification of the contact points between them in the organizational enviroment of the central integrator company. Finally, the examination of the three consecutive configurations of the integration shows decisive actors and ties in its development, confirming that the dimensions proposed by the model of analysis of social network helps in the interpretation of the dynamics of formation of interorganizational networks.
