Zusammenfassung:In order to sustain their competitive advantage in the current increasingly globalized and turbulent context, more and more firms are competing globally in alliances and networks that oblige them to adopt new managerial paradigms and tools. However, their strategic analyses rarely take into account the strategic implications of these alliances and networks, considering their global relational characteristics, admittedly because of a lack of adequate tools to do so. This paper contributes to research that seeks to fill this gap by proposing the Global Strategic Network Analysis - SNA - framework. Its purpose is to help firms that compete globally in alliances and networks to carry out their strategic assessments and decision-making with a view to ensuring dynamic strategic fit from both a global and relational perspective. Com vistas a sustentar sua vantagem competitiva no contexto de globalização e mudanças crescentes, mais e mais empresas estão competindo globalmente por meio de alianças e redes que as obrigam de adotar novos paradigmas e ferramentas gerenciais. No entanto, suas análises estratégicas raramente levam em conta as implicações estratégicas dessas alianças e redes, considerando suas características globais e relacionais, aparentemente, por falta de ferramentas analíticas adequadas. Este artigo contribui para as pesquisas que buscam preencher esta lacuna, ao propor o "Global Strategic Network Analysis - SNA - framework". O objetivo deste é de auxiliar empresas que competem globalmente em alianças e redes na condução das suas avaliações estratégicas e tomadas de decisão com vistas a assegurar uma adequação estratégica dinâmica pela perspectiva ao mesmo tempo global e relacional.
