What is a virtual organization?

In our current time of the Internet, fast bandwidth and smartphones, that is actually no longer the case. Why? You can grow and scale using ICT with the virtual organization as virtual organizational design using the AI-Model Canvas. By implementing hybrid working, working at home and remote management for instance.

Formal and informal virtual organizations.
It should be noted here that it can be a formal or an informal virtual organizational form. Many companies became a virtual organization in 1-day because of local lockdowns and everybody had to start to work from home or remotely somewhere else.
And think of all the informal organizational forms of virtual organizations like virtual tribes, other online communities and groups on LinkedIn, on Facebook or on other social media platforms.
