Abstract
This chapter describes the local context of the intervention—the city of Uberlândia, Minas Gerais State, Southeast of Brazil, with the specific issues related to previous experiences to improve the furniture sector . The intention of such a content is to provide the visualization of the current scenario—individualist, isolated and little innovative among the Micro and Small Enterprises of the furniture sector, in order to understand the challenges faced to achieve a more sustainable path by building an Inter-organizational Collaborative Network .
