A current trend is to exploit information technology in support for virtual organisations. The research and practice focus on the development and evaluation of information and communication technologies intended to manage the business processes in such organisations, i.e., organisations characterised by geographical distribution and ability to change. In this article we discuss the "worknet" as one type of information system that can support the activities in such a virtual organisation. A worknet connects a number of participants for a limited amount of time in order to achieve some common objective, e.g., to establish a consortium or to form a coalition for some business objective.
