Virtual modal is the means of transporting intangible products that is being used in different ways and at different levels of business, with the objective of delivering products quickly, with less inventory at a reduced cost. The strategy is to promote unity in an environment composed of different structures, where the intention is to compete with greater flexibility in terms of innovation. This article aimed to understand the importance of studying the virtual modal in the education and training of future managers. To meet this objective, the work was based on (1) a literature review and (2) application of a questionnaire to a sample of undergraduate students at the Federal University of Pernambuco. As a result, there was a universe of possible uses of the virtual modal and the benefit of its use brings to society. With the application of the questionnaire, it was found that, although students nearing completion of graduation present greater knowledge than the others, in general, the students demonstrated that they still have an unsatisfactory level of knowledge about the virtual modal. Finally, this work emphasizes the importance of future managers being properly prepared to act in a global digital society.
