Social Network Analysis (SNA) techniques are applied at the interorganizational level of analysis on an original dataset developed from Mix Market data. The microfinance interorganizational networks in Peru, Tanzania and in the regions of Tamil-Nadu (India) are presented. From the comparison of the different networks, several implications are drawn
