How to set up a virtual company
Abstract
A virtual enterprise is for small and medium companies a very interesting cooperation method in order to keep up with large companies in fast changing and globalizing markets. Although the principle per se is very simple nonbureaucratic and informal cooperation with one virtualface to the client - the realization is nevertheless not so easy. How can I find the right partners, how can I establish a common understanding, how can I cooperate efficiently and effective are exemplary questions. In the EC project SERVICE four European ICT and ergonomics consultancies (GSM, Germany; SIEM, Greece; System Concepts, Great Britain; UIDesign, Sweden), want to build up a model virtual company. During the establishment of that virtual consultancy promising methods and structures and the corresponding ICT environment have been worked out. But also some problematic areas have been detected, especially in the area of justice.
