SUMMARY:

Cooperatives are social organizations in which trust and collaboration are basic and essential guidelines for the effectiveness of their operations. As an element of social capital, a high level of trust between members influences productive collaborative relationships, which, supported by norms of reciprocity and trust, form the fundamental basis of cooperatives. In this regard, agricultural cooperativism is of great importance for the economy of the state of Pará, mainly due to family farming, which, through the organization of cooperatives, constitutes a vital tool for the development of the sector. Therefore, it becomes necessary to investigate the productive collaborative relationships that occur in Pará agricultural cooperatives and how this contributes to generating value and accessing markets, generating local development. This time, this research seeks to answer the following question: do agricultural cooperatives in the state of Pará have institutional entrepreneurs who generate collaborative innovation in their production practices, enabling the construction of value for their products? The hypothesis raised is the following: if agricultural cooperatives in the state of Pará have institutional entrepreneurs with positive collaborative relationships, then there is innovation in production practices and this enables the construction of value for products with market potential, which can lead to the development of local social economy. Therefore, the general objective of this thesis will be to analyze from the theory of social capital how collaborative relationships enable the construction of value for products with differentiated practices and how this improves the operational performance of agricultural cooperatives in the state of Pará. The specific ones will be: i) systematically reviewing the scientific production on social capital and agricultural cooperatives to present the state of the art and existing gaps in the literature; ii) identify the institutional entrepreneurs of the cooperatives that build value from differentiated practices; iii) analyze the dimensions of social capital in collaborative relationships that build value and improve the operational performance of agricultural cooperatives in the state of Pará. The research will be carried out in cooperatives located in Northeast Paraense and will use a qualitative approach. To carry out the systematic review, the Web of Science and Scopus databases will be consulted. The other data will be obtained through semi-structured interviews with the cooperatives' stakeholders and through document content analysis. Institutional entrepreneurs will be contacted via telephone and invited to participate in the survey through a personal interview. The interviews will be recorded with the consent of the respondents and later transcribed in full. From the transcripts and selection of documents, the data will be analyzed using the Atlas t.i. 8. It is expected to obtain state-of-the-art results, the mapping of institutional entrepreneurs and productive innovations with market potential, as well as a diagnosis of collaborative relationships that build value and improve the operational performance of cooperatives. As main products, this thesis will contribute to the publication of scientific articles, lines of action to strengthen agricultural cooperativism in the state and the organization of an event to present the differentiated products produced by cooperatives.
