Abstract: The term virtual enterprise has generated some considerable
confusion due to its actual literal interpretations. That, the
successful establishment of a virtual enterprise is mainly due
to the virtual organizing processes of the enterprise's
strategies, rather than transforming itself into a virtual
organization, is argued. A three dimensions frame of virtual
organizing strategies is proposed, and all virtual organizing
strategies described by different authors are able to find their
positions in the frame. To achieve competitive advantages, the
CEOs of enterprises in the information era may organize
virtually their enterprises by the three approaches including
virtual encounter, outsourcing, and business intelligence.
Key words:
Virtual
Enterprise Strategy
