The sociological approach of New Institutionalism has the premise that organisational responses to institutional demands depend on how the actors' network is structured. This article proposes a framework of measures to assess the structural properties of the organisational fields of beef in Brazil and Argentina in two large producing regions, intending to evaluate the capacity of both regions to respond to the growing institutional demands of the agrifood sector. Five structural properties of networks were identified from the literature review: openness, centralization, the density of central actors and their links with peripheral actors and intermediation attributes, which were associated with social network analysis measures. From this proposition of measures of social networks, a descriptive quantitative study was carried out based on secondary and primary data and analysis supported by the UCINET 6 software. It was mainly observed that both organisational fields are open to innovation, besides that the central actors are uncoordinated with few links with universities and research centres and different characteristics to absorb and transfer demands and associate central and peripheral actors. The contribution of this paper is on the application of a different theoretical approach that usually does not associate with the agribusiness organisational field.
