Summary
The creation of virtual corporate universities not only supports more flexible training and the development of human resources within companies. Rather, it is developing into a strategic concept for putting the paradigm of lifelong learning into practice. In the future, virtual corporate universities will be institutions of knowledge logistics and thus be of great importance to companies. Linked with this are new areas of responsibility, such as knowledge editing, knowledge services and the coaching of learning. Internet-based E-learning applications are an ideal software instrument for the process-oriented support of knowledge logistics. They give employees the functionality they need to organize and maintain different virtual project teams and supply them with the necessary knowledge. Web-based training, virtual cases and strategic online dialogs are assembled to build new knowledge and education products. This chapter presents concepts and solutions for the introduction and management of virtual corporate universities.
