Future institutions and enterprises, called virtual organizations are formed by society as entirely decentralized and distributed organizations.

The work and people's interdependence problems and human work organization depend on virtual cooperation in realβtime and a communication environment of storing and exchanging resources and coordination of documents' circle. The organization of human cooperation is comprised of two factors: first, a computer and information factor that promotes the creation and improvement of information resources, synthesis of processing methods, and information environment helping teamβwork; second, a communication and organizational factor that incorporates the problems of the synthesis of storing structures, computer information exchange, and interactive direct communication.
