摘要：This article analyzed the main mechanisms in inter-firm governance present in a modular consortium as well as in an automotive industry industrial condominium, operating in Brazil.. The data collection was carried out through interviews (in loco) in both automakers and suppliers. Modular consortium and industrial condominium not only involve collaborative agreements in manufacturing with suppliers but also embrace managerial aspects such as: trust, long-term contracts, reciprocity, reputation, channels of interdependence and formal and informal mechanisms of control. These contemporary forms of governance have generated new ways of organizing production and coordination in operations, based on cooperation, integration and inter-firm process control. For such, governance based on company inter-relationship usually operates seeking cooperative agreements so that it would permit quick access to information and technological innovations. These governance approaches contain structures to support exchange, resource interdependence, mutual lines of communication, economies of scale for research and joint production.
