Traditionally, organizations have consisted of collections of
people who physically gather together in one place to carry out
some kind of coordinated activity. Today, however, business is
increasingly relying on "virtual" processes in which people engage
in internet-mediated interactions that often span the globe. These
processes create intangible "imaginary organizations" that exist
largely as a concept in the minds of electronically interacting
individuals. As more and more high value-added work is performed by
knowledge workers interacting through electronically mediated
networks, however, managers and management researchers must evolve
new concepts for monitoring, interpreting, assessing, and managing
activities carried out in such virtual settings. This volume
presents an important multidisciplinary approach to understanding
these new kinds of imaginary organizations and their processes.
Close reading of the papers in this volume should reward the reader
with new insights into the inner workings of the new kinds of
virtual organizations and processes that are gaining increasing
prominence in business.
