- W artykule przedstawiono szczegółową analizę koncepcji organizacji wirtualnej, co pozwala na badanie procesu wirtualizacji w sposób kompleksowy, z uwzględnieniem jego złożoności i wielowymiarowości. Opracowana metodyka pomiaru poziomu wirtualizacji została skutecznie zastosowana w licznym i zróżnicowanym zbiorze przedsiębiorstw, obejmującym zarówno duże, jak i najmniejsze firmy reprezentujące sektory tradycyjne i sektory wysokich technologii. W toku przeprowadzonej analizy statystycznej potwierdzono, że proces wirtualizacji ma pozytywny wpływ na konkurencyjność badanych przedsiębiorstw. Przedstawione wyniki i wnioski z badań nadają nową perspektywę naukowej eksploracji organizacji wirtualnej, stanowiąc punkt wyjścia do dalszych badań w tej dziedzinie. (abstrakt autora)
This article presents a thorough analysis of the concept of virtual organisation, allowing an examination of the virtualisation process to be carried out in a comprehensive manner while also taking into account its complexity and multidimensionality. The methodology for measuring the level of organisational virtualness has been effectively applied to a wide range of businesses, both large and small, representing the traditional and high-technology sectors. Statistical analysis confirmed that virtualisation has a positive impact on a company's competitiveness. The results and conclusions of the examination provide a new perspective for the scientific exploration of virtual organisation, and form a starting point for future studies in this area of research.
