Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
An important challenge that faces organizations is change, which can be caused by different factors, such as a recession, a reduction in budget, market pressure, or the development of information and communication technology. New types of businesses have generated such models as virtual teams in contemporary enterprises or virtual organizations as a result of a paradigm shift in their organizational and relationship structure. Virtual structures, developed in response to certain specific organizational needs and market requirements, are suitable for the sustainable development of organizations.
The wide dissemination and effective materialization of the foreseen benefits of sustainable virtual organizations require a holistic approach to understand, model, and develop the needed infrastructures and tools to support the full life cycle of this organizational paradigm. That is why we are organizing this Special Issue, which aims to discuss the challenges of such frameworks from a sustainable virtual organization management and development perspective.
We invite you to contribute to this Issue by submitting comprehensive reviews, case studies, or research articles. Papers selected for this Special Issue are subject to a rigorous peer review procedure, with the aim of rapid and wide dissemination of research results, developments, and applications.
