O conceito de Meta-Organização é um termo organizacional existente há já algumas décadas, no entanto, apenas nos últimos anos este conceito tem vindo a ser explorado, tendo ganho maior visibilidade na sociedade. Esta dissertação propõe-se então a identificar e a caracterizar Meta-Organizações portuguesas e internacionais que exerçam atividade no setor industrial. Recorrendo a uma revisão bibliográfica que teve como objetivo o aprofundamento de conceitos e conhecimentos relacionados com o tema em questão, tendo como exemplos o funcionamento de Meta-Organização, as suas diferentes formas de estruturação, os níveis de estratificação, como também o relacionamento entre membros, entre outros, procedeu-se então à identificação e caracterização de algumas organizações. Através da sua caracterização, com base nos casos analisados, é possível observar-se que, ao nível da inovação e no setor industrial, existe uma tendência para o tipo de estrutura de Meta-Organização utilizada, sendo que todas adotaram por um modelo de coproprietário aberto (ou ecossistema gerido). Estes modelos têm em comum a formação dos seus associados, ligação com centros de apoio à investigação, como também a existência da partilha de experiências e conhecimentos entre membros. Após a caracterização, foi então permitido entender a importância das Meta-Organizações na economia, visto que promovem uma maior competitividade empresarial, recorrendo à entreajuda empresarial, resultando numa constante evolução e desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias e processos sustentáveis e rentáveis. Este trabalho de investigação permite também a exploração de novos temas relativamente às Meta-Organizações, tendo como exemplos uma gestão baseada em plataformas digitais, a sua adaptabilidade à indústria 4.0, como também, baseado na economia circular, como proceder a uma redução da pegada ecológica recorrendo a uma política de reutilização de desperdício de alguns associados como matérias-primas para outros membros.

This dissertation proposes to identify and characterize Portuguese and international Meta-Organizations that operate in the industrial sector. By using a bibliographic review that aimed to deepen concepts and knowledge related to the topic in question, having as examples the functioning of Meta-Organization, its different forms of structuring, levels of stratification, as well as the relationship between members, among others, some organizations were identified and characterized. Through its characterization, based on the analyzed cases, it is possible to observe that in the industrial sector, in terms of innovation, there is a tendency for the type of MetaOrganizational structure used, having all of studied examples adopted an opened coowner model (or managed ecosystem). These models have in common the training of its associates, connections with research support centers, as well as the existence of the share of experiences and knowledge between members. After characterization, it was then allowed to understand the importance of Meta-Organizations in the economy, as they promote greater business competitiveness, using business mutual assistance, resulting in a constant evolution and development of new technologies and also sustainable and profitable processes. This research work also allows the exploration of new themes regarding Meta-Organizations, having as examples a management based on digital platforms, their adaptability to industry 4.0, as well as, based on the circular economy, how to reduce the ecological footprint resorting to a policy of reusing waste from some members as raw materials for other members.
