Abstract

Virtual corporations (VCs) are viewed as a solution for quick introduction of a variety of products with high quality and low costs. One of the critical issues in the formation of VCs is the partner selection process. The paper proposes a two-phase mathematical programming approach for effective partner selection in designing a VC. Phase 1 identifies efficient candidates of each business process type utilizing data envelopment analysis. Phase 2 uses an integer (0-1) goal programming model to select an effective combination of efficient partners
