摘要:The collaborative network concept is not new, but its use has being influenced in the political, social and economic global changes. The concept is not only being applied in the industry, but also in the service sector, as well as governmental and non-governmental social organizations. For that reason reference models for different sectors are being proposed, developed and implemented. In the present work are presented and compared four different reference models of collaborative networks considering a functional dimension perspective. The objective of this work is to identify core processes that exist in those four models that could be considered as a basis for the development of a meta-reference model for the Collaborative Network discipline. The paper introduced the idea to develop a meta-reference model in order to facilitate the creation and operation of new collaborative networks.
