Generating innovation is a complex and non-linear activity, making it important to understand how to orchestrate it in various environments. Thus, the present study aims to identify how different forms of orchestration impact the level of learning and innovation in two Local Productive Arrangements (LPAs), one in the furniture sector and the other in footwear. The research employs an exploratory descriptive approach and is based on Social Network Analysis (SNA). Data was collected through questionnaires administered in person to companies within the LPAs of Marco and Crajubar. The results indicate that in the furniture network, there is a dominant orchestration which correlates with a higher level of innovation. Conversely, in the footwear network, it became evident that no single actor leads, which constitutes a consensus-based orchestration. Furthermore, it was observed that there is no difference in the level of learning between the LPAs, regardless of the form of orchestration.
