Despite the importance of small companies for the country’s economic and social development, they are not very dynamic as generators of technologies and new products, which explains, in part, their low participation in GDP and exports. The development of products together has great potential to circumvent this problem. However, in previous studies, there were different barriers for small companies to carry out product development projects together. Thus, the project being proposed aims to generate solutions, through theoretical contributions and practical applications, for small companies organized in horizontal cooperation networks.
