摘要:The main objective of the research was to test a holistic view on virtual organizations with different perceptions of virtuality. Traditional and virtual organizations could be seen as two extremes of more general model of organization. To asses a transition from the traditional to the virtual organizations we have to grade organizational virtuality. In the paper we discuss three basically different reference models used to asses this transition. Two models are well known – the Mowshowitz’s switching principle, and the Model of Business Networking (MBN) as a representative of models preferred by the ICT experts. They see the virtual organizations through implementation of the ICT, particularly the Internet. To express other characteristics of virtual organizations we also presented the model based on the Colored Petri nets and fuzzy logic that we originally used to study an organized anarchy. All three models were implemented to assess the case of the Custom Administration in Slovenia. An assessment confirms that organization of the Custom services clearly demonstrates an efficient utilization of the Internet and other features of virtual organizations
