The awareness of the term "virtual company" has rapidly increased, yet the understanding of this organizational form remains underdeveloped. "Achieving Success with Virtual Companies" makes a valuable contribution in this regard: the book fills knowledge gaps and simultaneously bridges the gap between science and practice. It offers, among other things, a practical, quick, and reliable quick-check for managers, success factors and prerequisites for virtual companies derived from case studies and numerous practical interviews, as well as seven management theses that convey the characteristics of virtual companies concisely. Managers are thus provided with important tools to make swift and informed decisions regarding the establishment and design of a virtual company.
