In nowadays complex business environment it is very difficult for an organization to act independently (anymore) on the market. Organizations which are participating in on one or more supply chains could outperform their competitors, which are not taking part in any supply chain. Therefore membership in one or more supply chains has become one among most important prerequisites, in order to retain/gain competitive advantage in modern business environment. One among most important considerations in the problematic of supply chain is its organization and especially its management, known as supply chain management. Advancement in modern information and communication technology and internet coupled with heightened interest for virtuality and virtual design of organizations has a great impact on many business segments/areas. Therefore organization of supply chain could vary on a continuum from traditional to virtual organization. Paper discuses two thesis: (1) Information and communication technology is a base for virtual organization of supply chain and for linking dispersed supply chain participants ; and (2) The role and importance of modern information and communication technology for/in supply chain is importantly dependent upon geographic dispersion of supply chain participants.
