Abstract
The virtual enterprise (VE) concept presents new challenges to the industrial sociology. The work organization and technology design requires a balanced framework pointing to the unification between technology and people. The proposal of social and organizational recommendations aims to contribute to the development of the base technology according to the socio-technical and anthropocentric theories. For those involved in technology implementation, strategic guidelines are presented, aiming to avoid unemployment and productivity dysfunction as consequence of an incorrect application of the technology.
