SUMMARY:

Purpose: This thesis aims to configure the formation and interaction of women entrepreneurs’s networks in the effectuation logic, based on its conception and evidence. The specific objectives consist of: characterizing the women's network system and its formative and interactive process; outline how entrepreneurial ideas and practices are conceived in the effectuation logic; describe how the elements of the effectuation logic are evident in female entrepreneurship in women's networks and set up a conceptual framework that represents the integration of women entrepreneurs’s networks in the effectuation logic.

Methodology: This is an exploratory research, with a qualitative approach, conducted through a single case study of a female entrepreneurship network that has its activities carried out in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Data were collected through interviews and observation. The analysis was performed using content analysis techniques with the help of Atlas TI software.

Results: It was found that participation in female entrepreneurship networks can generate triggers for the development of women as entrepreneurs (by listening to other women's stories and feeling part of a social group); to provide benefits for the undertakings, through business disclosure, cost sharing and learning about management; and offer non-financial advantages, especially in terms of the personal development of entrepreneurs. Peculiar aspects of female entrepreneurship such as initial interactions with close ties of friendship and family; the relationship of trust as the main link between the participants and the content focused not only on exchange relationships and benefits for the entrepreneurs' businesses, but also on personal development, mutual support and exploration of aspects related to the female universe were highlighted. The results in the analyzes corroborate the pre-established propositions.

Contributions: This paper contributes with an analysis of the dynamic and complex networking activities of women entrepreneurs, moves beyond a single agency perspective and the individual-opportunity nexus to a more collaborative perspective on entrepreneurship by women, and offers a less generalist discussion about the entrepreneurial process, enhancing the peculiar aspects of female entrepreneurship, the collective awareness of the role and influences that a network can bring in the personal scope and in the businesses developed by the participants.
