The governance of social-educative networks: keys to successful management

Abstract

This paper presents a social-educative networks managerial model based on interorganizational collaboration across the community. Researchers underline significant differences between network management and managerial issues from an independent and traditional organization. But literature shows an important lack around the specific managerial variables needed to lead these complex initiatives, in order to maximize goal achievement in a community level. Results from this work present a global frame by integrating crucial strategies in the management of socialeducative networks, as process steps that drive the network performance to its effectiveness through the development of a collaborative culture between professionals in the community, and the enhancement of community social capital. Therefore, the model provides some specific guidelines for network managers, so as a frame for the assessment of managerial performance.
