Abstract
The importance of identifying and evaluating core competencies relies on the fact that when companies enter the business arena wishing to participate in virtual enterprises, brokers will search and select them based on their core competencies. Core competence is a key concept to define the competitiveness of a company. Due to its abstract sense, this paper proposes a method allowing a concise identification and evaluation of core competencies’ constituent skills. Once companies have their core competencies evaluated in terms of their constituent skills, they will be able to provide the information about such competencies, allowing virtual enterprise brokers to work more efficiently, the competence match for a business opportunity exploitation.
