Abstract
A framework is developed for viewing the centralization issues of organizations to consider to what degree a virtual organization may help a firm obtain competitive advantage. Utilizing the concepts of flexibility and synergy, the framework can serve as a guide for practitioners to help determine what degree of synergy and flexibility a given organizational form would bring and what its suggested category of competitive advantage would be. Implications and suggestions for future research are also discussed.
