The aim of this study was to investigate the production of Brazilian research in organizational strategy that addresses the Transaction Cost Theory (TCT). As a method, we chose to perform a documentary research through bibliometric analysis. We examined methodological aspects, keywords, theories, authors and most cited works related to TCT, as well as identified gaps and suggestions for future studies. A prominent finding was the proximity of two theoretical areas: TCT and Resource-Based View (RBV). This result reinforces the argument that it is viable the proximity of TCT and VBR in the strategy field for a better understanding of superior performance by the firms.
