The purpose of this study was to describe the relationship between the adoption of an administrative innovation, called System to Conformity Assessment of Business Services and Works of Construction (SiAC), by enterprises operating in the sector of public works in the Federal District and structural location of these companies in the network of relationships between them. The study is important for examining structural factors in the strategic behavior of organizations embedded in networks. The theoretical framework was based on the institutional theory and analysis of social networks.
