Purpose: To analyze the four key pillars of virtual organizations and assess the impact of business management solutions on the quality of information management.

Design/methodology/approach: The study deeply analyzed the four primary pillars that support a virtual organization, namely its primary goal, common telecommunication/IT network, mutual trust, and people. The research adopted both descriptive and comparative analytical methods, as well as synthetic methods, to study and compare various approaches to managing a virtual organization. The Shapiro-Wilk test determined the adoption of parametric significance tests.

Findings: The management process in a virtual organization is intricately connected to the quality of the four main pillars. Especially significant is the role of people, who are considered the primary capital in this organizational model. Efficient management of a virtual organization leads to flexibility, innovation, and achieving effective results through the adept utilization of human and technological resources.

Research limitations/implications: While the research provides an extensive understanding of the workings and factors influencing virtual organizations, the findings are based on the views of the 355 respondents, which may limit its generalizability.

Practical implications: The findings offer pragmatic guidance for managers and practitioners in the realm of managing virtual organizations. It emphasizes the need to focus on the quality and efficiency of the four main pillars, especially on human resources, to ensure the success and innovation of the virtual organizational model.

Originality/value: The article offers a fresh perspective on the research of virtual business cooperation in the 21st century. By amalgamating various research methods and analyzing responses from a diverse group of respondents, it reveals a deeper understanding of the factors that influence the success and management of virtual organizations. It underscores the significance of human resources and technology in this modern business model.(original abstract)
