A Modeling Framework Based on Enterprises Cluster for Virtual Enterprise

As a new type of organization form,virtual enterprise is believed to have many theoretical advantages,but these advantages have not been fully shown in practice yet.The paper intends to analyze the causes and to propose ideas to solve the problem.Starting from the characteristics of virtual enterprise,the paper analyzes the factors hindering the practice of the virtual enterprises,evaluates the lack of existing models,and then comes to the conclusion that a unified, simplified model is more conducive to the realization of virtual enterprise according to the actual situation.Learning from the mechanism of enterprises cluster,the paper suggests a modeling framework for the new idea of virtual enterprise which is effective in operation.The main contributions of this modeling include:constitute a standardized operating platform to overcome the prime obstacle from the diversity of the partners for the practice of virtual enterprise;and set up a collaboration layer as the buffer mechanism between the partners and the database.
