RESUMOO presente artigo busca entender, na gestão de rede de negócios, a importância da estrutura organizacional formal para o sucesso da rede e como ela influencia esse resultado. A partir de uma profunda pesquisa bibliográfica sobre o tema, observamos que os autores são muito divergentes. A grande maioria considera que a estrutura formal impede a funcionalidade das redes, dentro de sua própria concepção. Para fundamentar essa idéia, usamos dois casos distintos na busca da estrutura de cada caso e seus efeitos no desempenho da rede. O resultado foi que a estrutura tem seu papel de destaque e nem sempre pode ser dispensada. Como objetivo secundário, propomos ampliar essa pesquisa envolvendo outros casos e outras variáveis, além das estudadas: poder, comunicação, liderança e cultura.ABSTRACTThis article seeks the comprehension in the management field of business networks about the importance of formal organizational structure to assure networks effectiveness. and how formal structure influences the final results. From a deep research of national and international articles on this subject we could assure there is a serious divergency in thought. Most authors consider that formal structure does not permit the functionality of the network. To prove this idea we use two distinct cases and study their structure and effect on results. The findings were that the structure has its important role and sometimes cannot be ignored.

A partir de una profunda investigación bibliográfica sobre el tema, observamos que hay grandes divergencias entre los autores. La gran mayoría considera que la estructura formal impide la funcionalidad de las redes, dentro de su propia concepción. Para fundamentar esta idea, usamos dos casos distintos en busca de la estructura de cada caso y sus efectos en el desempeño de la red. El resultado fue que la estructura tiene una función destacada y en general no puede ser suprimida. Como objetivo secundario, proponemos ampliar esa investigación incluyendo otros casos y otras variables, además de las ya estudiadas: poder, comunicación, liderazgo y cultura.

This study attempts to explore structural variables on reading comprehension of 150 state run university students of psychology and educational fields. The subjects involved were selected through stratified random sampling. This group includes two ways factorial design through random assignment. The variables of this article were investigated in six groups (25 subjects in each group). Each group was asked to recall the text and finish a multiple-choice test. The central instrument included six versions of passage with identical content but different structure .Analysis of recall test indicated that subjects displayed better recall of the text with highly structured passage than others. The outcomes suggested that structural variables have a significant effect on written communication.
