Sharing manufacturing information in virtual enterprises

Abstract

Microsoft OLE also defines a framework that allows applications to inleroperate. CORBA is used here because, al the time of writing, OLE did not allow applications to interoperate over wide-area networks and did not nse a generai-purpose definition language to define its inteifaces.

Communicating trustworthiness and building trust in interorganizational virtual organizations

“…Many countries in turn are negotiating and creating a common ontology that supports compatibility of the different systems in use (Faisst, 1995;Ferné, 1996;Hardwick, Spooner, Rando, & Morris, 1996;McChesney, 1996;Semich, 1994). This future commonality should further enable the formation of virtual organizations and impact on the interaction process.…”

Evaluating Organisational Readiness for Virtual Collaboration

“…Extensive review of the research literature provides myriad descriptions such as virtual organisation (Mowshowitz, 1986), virtual company (Goldman & Nagel, 1993), virtual enterprise (Davidrajuh, 2003;Hardwick et al, 1996), virtual team (Lipnack & Stamps, 1997) virtual factory (Upton & McAfee, 1996), virtual organising (Venkatraman and Henderson, 1998), hubs (Friedheim Jr, 1999), clusters (Dearlove, 2001) and relationship enterprises (Walters, 2000). The most recent literature even makes a distinction between the virtual organisation and organisational virtualisation.…”

Analysing trust as a means of improving the effectiveness of the virtual supply chain

Kasper-Fuehrer and Ashkanasy (2001) refer to the two approaches taken within the literature to defining virtual organisations as 'intraorganisational' and 'interorganisational'.…”
