Resumo: This study analyzes how governance’s institutionalization process occurs in inter-organizational networks called Virtual Business Communities (VBC). Using institutional theory as a basis, we analyze how governance was performed in two VBCs in the flower and ornamental plants business sector. Data were collected through interviews, non-participant observation, and documents and analyzed with the content analysis technique. Results reflect the importance of members’ symbolic and material interest in legitimizing the institutionalization process and the role of prior cooperation in physical environments when institutionalizing governance in VBCs. Therefore, we contribute to the theory by showing that previous cooperation in physical environments contributes to institutionalizing governance in virtual environments.
