“…Barnett et al [1] recognized that the VE is a set of collaborative business processes to produce services and products, and presented an architecture for the VE based upon an objectoriented business process modeling approach. A large number of studies have tried to establish flexible and generic infrastructures to support the formation and the operation of practical VEs [2,3].…”

“…The work of [4,5,6] laid out the foundations for defining the Virtual Enterprise in the earliest works on the topic. At that time, the telecom infrastructure available did not support the technical running of true VEs due to the high cost and low availability of bandwidth that would be needed to maintain Peer to Peer connections between multiple participants in a VE.…”

“…The collaboration aspects of Virtual Enterprises (VE) in manufacturing were coined [4] as the 'virtual corporation'. This was further evolved into the ideas presented by [5] as 'an architecture for the virtual enterprise' which laid out the logical sequences for the establishment, operation and dissolution of a VE. Further elaboration on by [6] where the basic features of a VE were laid out, and techniques utilising the Standard for the Exchange of Product models (STEP) standard and client-server web based internet for enabling a virtual collaboration.…”

The problems of collaborative engineering design and knowledge management at the conceptual stage in a network of dissimilar enterprises was investigated. This issue in engineering design is a result of the supply chain and virtual enterprise (VE) oriented industry that demands faster time to market and accurate cost/manufacturing analysis from conception. The solution consisted of a de-centralised super-peer net architecture to establish and maintain communications between enterprises in a VE. In the solution outlined below, the enterprises are able to share knowledge in a common format and nomenclature via the building-block shareable super-ontology that can be tailored on a project by project basis, whilst maintaining the common nomenclature of the 'super-ontology' eliminating knowledge interpretation issues. The two-tier architecture layout of the solution glues together the peerpeer and super-ontologies to form a coherent system for both internal and virtual enterprise knowledge management and product development.

“…The variety of terms and certain definitions that take into account different aspects of virtual organisations stemmed from different starting points (Barnett, Presley, & Johnson, 1994;Camarinha-Matos & Afsarmanesh, 2003;Gou, Huang, Liu, & Li, 2003).…”

Virtual team members need to acquire specific competencies to ensure team success. In line with this, by establishing standards for selection the virtual team members can provide their successful performance that achieves organisational goals. The article focuses on a variety of factors that affect the professional competencies in virtual teams. It also suggests models for measuring such competencies. The authors also present an example of how the model may be applied. Namely, in case study this article focuses upon the capacities of a virtual organisation to form the project team the members of which will come from a virtual university, on the basis of knowledge and collaboration. Conclusion and recommendation are made for further research and improvements in this area.
