The Clusters importance is something already consolidated in the academic, political and business environment, due to its economic and social role for regional development. This project intends to analyze the social networks within the Health Cluster of the city of Ceres, State of Goiás, Brazil, understanding how this happens among its actors and the links between them. In order to do so, it is intended to collect documentary and bibliographic information about the cluster, to elaborate and to apply questionnaires with the actors. In order to analyze the data obtained, the free software Pajek was used to generate a social network of the involved actors outlined graphically. To understand how these relationships are given, a questionnaire will be applied with the entrepreneurs and medical doctors of the companies surveyed. Preliminary results are that the health network cluster has 34 organizations / actors, of which 31 relate at least once to another actor, thus forming a "web" interconnecting them.

This research paper examines the importance of inter-organizational network management as a government policy tool to promote regional development. This pattern requires Federal Government intervention so as to compensate for the imbalance that this causes and to guarantee that economic growth resulting from government actions leads to development in all regions of the country, thereby avoiding the traditional mechanisms of wealth concentration. For this, a methodology of content analysis was used based on a relevant public policy aimed at promoting development within Brazil and by analyzing the data collected in relation to the current theory related to strategy, local development and inter-organizational networks in general. The analysis results show that, when the policy studied in this work, applied in the federal network of professional education, science & technology, was implemented the networks had a positive influence on the outcome of the policy objectives and represented an extremely powerful support tool, being one of the most important factors to boost development.
