Abstract
Virtual organisations often rely heavily on their Web sites. Indeed, Web sites have taken on strategic importance within such organisations as the dependence on face-to-face communication and physical location decreases. Despite this, many organisations are still experimenting with alternative methods of managing their Web site resource. This paper explores alternative methods of managing Web sites and presents some of the key strengths and weaknesses with each approach. Examples of how more traditional organisations manage their sites are examined to provide suggestions and guidelines for virtual organisations in this topic of strategic importance.
