This chapter addresses the contractual legislation
problem as an integration problem within the
virtual enterprise context. In order to address
the problem in a real legal platform, we create
an example of a consortium agreement template
based on the existing Portuguese legislation. The
legislation is no more than standard procedures
and guidelines to address an organization’s formalization
within the legal system and society.
Looking through the existing Portuguese legislation,
as an example, we found a way to legally fit
virtual enterprises (VEs). Moreover, we propose
a consortium agreement template as a preestablished
standard agreement to legally support VEs
before specific legislation is created. We propose
that the enterprises, when joining a market of
service providers, would automatically accept this consortium agreement template in order to
more rapidly become a partner in a VE as soon
as business opportunities arise.
