In the conditions of a tremendous industrial advance in information and communication technologies today and in the full swing of the world economic crisis, the chances of industry and universities to survive are rather thin unless they undergo necessary changes. These changes are reflected in the interconnection of the social environment, universities and industry, which is a precondition for building a knowledge-based economy. The aim of our research is to define the extent of collaboration competency within the social network. It helps a more objective assessment in selecting prospective team members. The employee with maximum knowledge required for the project, one that can ensure a high degree of collaboration through a social network is appointed project manager. On the basis of these results a competent virtual team can be assembled, capable of effectively solving the tasks set before them.
