Abstract:
This article is examining and determining the phenomenon of virtual cooperation in the
industrial environment. Its goal is to research and find insights into whether virtual corporations are a
viable alternative to classical and more traditional cooperation forms such as alliances, joint ventures
and others. Virtual Enterprises (VEs) are and could be therefore a new organizational business concept
to cope with actual and future challenges for companies in the globalization phases. This approach is
based on merging all core competencies of a company in a network like organization. This seems to be
a necessary response to deal with fast growing economies, fast changing conditions of certain markets
and to become an agile reacting company in this environment.
Keywords:
Virtual organization, Virtual enterprises, Virtualization, Cooperation forms, Collaboration, Technology.
