Abstract
This report characterises the concept of virtual organisation from the point of view of the network trend. In order to investigate the factors for success for the creation of a virtual organisation and to scrutinise closely a relationship within a network one must draw on the transaction cost model. Further, the partners and the goals of the VIRTUOS (“Virtuelles Unternehmen in Österreich und der Schweiz”) Project are introduced more closely. In closing, the present state of the project and the measures implemented thus far will be inspected.
