Abstract
With the advance of the Internet, today’s interconnected environment creates a world of global competition featured time pressures, complexity, and rapid changes and also makes a new relationship the Virtual Alliance possible. In this research, we propose an information infrastructure MAVAF for effective global sourcing to conjoin various organizations and to strengthen business competence. The MAVAF comprises mobile agent enabled platforms and partner selection strategy patterns. With the proposed infrastructure, the emerging concept of Virtual Alliance can possibly be effectively realized and achieved.
