Abstract in Portuguese
Esta pesquisa, de caráter descritivo-exploratório, tem como objeto o mercado de
viagens corporativas expressas pelas Travel Management Companies (TMC),
organizações de suporte de redes (OSR) e redes de cooperação empresarial
(RCE). Destaca-se, neste contexto, a ABRACORP por ser uma entidade que
congrega várias TMC brasileiras. Neste estudo procurou-se desvendar as relações
das TMC, como um todo e, no caso brasileiro, avaliar a posição das TMC nacionais
no mercado global de viagens corporativas. Para alcançar estas metas,
esmiuçaram-se as características e tipologias das OSR que atuam neste mercado.
A comunicação organizacional das TMC, OSR e RCE, exibidas nos seus portais da
Internet, subsidiaram as análises para a contextualização dos negócios dessas
empresas e o entendimento de suas inter-relações. A partir da ABRACOPRP
chegou-se à lista de 30 TMC, aqui definidas como o universo da pesquisa, o que
permitiu a concretização deste estudo. Os resultados apontam para um mercado
de viagens corporativas, dinâmico, que vem se transformando, desde meados do
século XX. Além disso, este mercado busca outras oportunidades de negócios, por
meio de ações inovadores e vínculos com RCE. No caso do mercado brasileiro
verificou-se que ele está se adaptando às tendências mundiais e que existem
modelos de cooperação que podem, ou não, atender às necessidades das
agências de turismo no Brasil.

Abstract in English
This descriptive-exploratory research aims at analysing the corporate travel market
expressed by Travel Management Companies (TMC), Network Support
Organizations (NSO) and Business Cooperation Networks (BCN). In this context, it
is important highlighting the Brazilian Association of Corporate Travel Agencies
(ABRACORP) for being an entity that comprises several Brazilian TMC. The
objective of this study was to comprehend the relationships of TMC as a whole and,
in the Brazilian case, to evaluate the position of the national TMC in the global
market of national corporate travel. To achieve these goals, it was carried out a deep
analysis of the characteristics and types of NSO that operate in this market. The
organizational communication of TMC, NSO and BCN, displayed on their websites,
supported the analyses for the contextualization of the business of these companies
and the understanding of their interrelationships. From ABRACORP, a list of 30
TMC was elaborated here defined as the universe of the research, which enabled
the completion of this study. The results point to a dynamic corporate travel market,
which has been transformed since the middle of the 20th century. In addition, this
market seeks other business opportunities through innovative actions and links with
BCN. In the case of the Brazilian market, it was verified that the country is adapting
to global trends and that there are cooperation models that may or may not meet
the needs of travel agencies in Brazil.
