Abstract
In the current dynamic world where organisations are inserted in, there is no time to postpone businesses due to the lack of support that can help organisations to establish connections with others agilely. In this context, one of the critical issues in the creation of a virtual organisation is the selection of partners. This article addresses a very closely related issue, which is the selection of the performance indicators (PIs) that should be applied to drive the partners’ search. Considering the complexity of this task, this article presents a framework developed to aid the user to find appropriate PIs to compare and suggest organisations for a specific collaboration opportunity.
