Abstract: The modern business environment requires fast, efficient and reliable management of vast amounts of information and diverse data. A concrete solution for this problem can be provided by business intelligence systems, which support better and more effective communication among business customers and partners. In this paper, business intelligence systems are examined in the field of Virtual Enterprises, which, by default, require flexible and effective management and sharing of knowledge. The systemic methodology used in this context is Stafford Beer's Viable Systems Model (VSM), serving full exploitation of corporate knowledge and concluding to a Viable Virtual Enterprise Intelligence Decision Cycle.
