How Does Virtual Organizations as Collaboration Networks Benefit Society? Descriptions and Experiences from Collaboration Networks in the Rogaland Area
Abstract
This article describes two successful virtual organizations and tries to extract features that may have a role in their success. The first, TESA, is the oldest and was on the height of activity in the 80s. The second, RKK, is still increasing its activities. Both cases seem to suggest that a “change agent” combined with “open door” policy and shared benefit is important. ICT was never an issue with TESA but has an increasing importance for RKK enabling a higher frequency of collaboration. Both cases seem to benefit from surrounding infrastructure and provides to society more than most single companies or other struggling collaborations.
