Abstract
Globalization, along with the accelerated progress in Information and Communication Technologies, ICT, has prompted project-oriented organizations to act outside their corporate limits to expand their scope of service provision. In the development of these projects, collaborative networks arise among the members of the work team in charge. To understand the collaborative relationships that are formed between the members of these working groups in Project Supply Chain management (PSCM), the approach of visual and descriptive analysis of the network analysis methodology was used. In this article, we present the initial results of the characterization of two collaborative networks, derived from transnational projects. The preliminary findings show that the project leader is a determining node for the conformation and structuring of the network in the execution of the project.
