Summary/Abstract: Contemporary manufacturing practices are placed in the context of the virtual enterprise to synthesize the development towards the enterprise of the global information society. E-business is often described as the small organisations’ gateway to global business and markets, and the success of the adoption of digital technologies. Because SMEs are more flexible in their internal organisation than larger companies, they may often be able to adapt to changing market conditions more quickly and efficiently. In this paper, I presented two concepts related: digital ecosystem and virtual enterprise. The purpose of the virtual enterprise, as defined here, is to provide a new solution for an unpredicted opportunity, special for SMEs.
