Resumen:
Virtual Cooperation among SME
firms can be analyzed from different theoretical perspectives. We consider e-cooperation among
firms under asymmetric information. Firms cooperate jointly to produce some
output or service, and they organize in teams whose firms characteristics are imperfectly
observed. Suppose firms can observe their efforts or actions but they cannot
observe the disutility of effort which they can discover after the contract is
signed. The objective of this paper is to analyze virtual cooperation contracts
under hidden information based on the original papers of Holmstrom (1982) and
Rasmussen (1987). We derive some conditions under which it is possible to
implement an optimal sharing rule for a virtual team of SME under a hidden information
frame.
