Benefits for virtual organizations from distributed groups

Abstract

The rapid spread of capitalism around the world since the end of the Cold War in 1990 has been accompanied by a sharp increase in global business competition. Many computer technology advances have occurred in the same period, focusing on organizational computer networking. In such an environment, most organizations increasingly face two external pressures - to produce and deliver higher quality and cheaper products and services than their competitors, and to adapt to the fast pace of technological change.
