- process virtualization theory
- process virtualization theory
In our increasingly virtual society, more and more processes that have
traditionally been conducted via physical mechanisms are being conducted
virtually. This phenomenon of "process virtualization" is happening in many
contexts, including formal education (via distance learning), shopping (via
electronic commerce), and friendship development (via social networking sites
and virtual worlds). However, some processes are more amenable to virtualization
than others. For example, distance learning seems to work better for some
educational processes than others, and electronic commerce has worked well for
some shopping processes but not for others. These observations motivate the
following question: What factors affect the "virtualizability" of a process?
This question is becoming increasingly important as advances in information
technology create the potential for society to virtualize more and more
processes. The purpose of "process virtualization theory" is to provide a
general theoretical basis for investigating this question.
