Summary/Abstract: This article is examining and determining the phenomenon of virtual cooperation in the industrial environment. Its goal is to research and find insights into whether virtual corporations are a viable alternative to classical and more traditional cooperation forms such as alliances, joint ventures and others. Virtual Enterprises (VEs) are and could be therefore a new organizational business concept to cope with actual and future challenges for companies in the globalization phases. This approach is based on merging all core competencies of a company in a network like organization. This seems to be a necessary response to deal with fast growing economies, fast changing conditions of certain markets and to become an agile reacting company in this environment.
