[http://www.journals.co.za/ej/ejour_labour.html] Abstract: Globalisation and advances in technology have led to the rapid increase in permanent virtual teams in multinational companies as a form of competitive advantage. The main purpose of this research was to identify perceptions on leadership preferences and factors enabling or inhibiting the effective leadership of virtual teams. The qualitative phase of this research generated in-depth knowledge on the constructs for phase 2, which consisted of a survey of 59 respondents from four continents. The outcome revealed that socio-emotional leadership capabilities are key to success in the leadership of multinational virtual teams. Specific recommendations are made to virtual team leaders on the basis of consistent views expressed by managers and subordinates on findings on the relative importance of key leadership skills, plus the enablers and inhibitors of managing virtual teams.

    "Toward a General Model of Knowledge Creation in Virtual Teams Kamphol Wipawayangkool (kamphol.wipawayangkool@mavs.uta.edu) Additional contact information Journal of Information & Knowledge Management (JIKM), 2009, vol. 08, issue 01, pages 45-51 Abstract: Virtual teams have made such an impact on organisations' knowledge management. As a result, the phenomenon of knowledge creation in virtual teams obviously deserves researchers' attention. Nonetheless, literature on virtual teams has not been much theory-grounded. Thus, to explore the influence of virtual teams on knowledge creation and fill the scarcity of theoretical foundation in the literature, this paper firstly proposes a theoretical model of knowledge creation process in virtual teams called Adaptive Social-Externalisation by primarily drawing from Nonaka's Organisational Knowledge Creation theory as well as Adaptive Structuration theory and Agency theory. Secondly, the characteristics of the process are also derived as Adaptiveness, Simultaneity, and Goal Congruency and Information Symmetry and can be used to determine the effectiveness of both knowledge creation and overall performance of a virtual team. Both theoretical and practical implications are then discussed.

    "Virtual Teams: From Merely Working Together to Truly Collaborating with One Another. 1 Posted by Sebastian Reiche | Posted on Jan 17, 2013 Category : Cases, Comments and Current Trends Tags: cultural diversity, distant leadership, global leadership, global organizations, virtual teams 'It's like monopoly on a global scale, with people, factories, offices, and ideas, crisscrossing the world to get the job done in time and on budget'. In my opinion, this metaphor that a recent CNN article mentioned serves as a fitting description for today's globally dispersed business environment, and as a great introduction for a blog post on global virtual teams. As global businesses adjust to these 'monopoly' settings, managing global virtual teams quickly becomes the norm. Although they are very attractive cost wise, and may also help to save time , managing global virtual teams effectively is still a challenge. There is limited face-to-face interaction, work occurs across different time zones, and collaboration involves different cultural and language backgrounds - all of which make virtual teamwork and virtual leadership quite a difficult task. This is probably one reason for why entering 'virtual team' into any Internet search engine results in a sheer endless number of publications with 'to do' and 'top tips' lists in their headings. And although the majority of recommendations for managing traditional teams would also serve well for virtual teams (e.g. specify roles, create a common meaningful goal, value all team members), the differences should be evident. Lacking face-to-face interaction makes virtual teams much more vulnerable to 'merely working together' instead of truly collaborating with one another. What happens naturally in groups who see each other daily should be deliberately fostered in remote virtual groups. In this context, a relevant HBR blog article suggests that global team leaders must deliberately create 'moments'.

The study focused on the influence of virtual research and development (R&D) teams within Malaysian manufacturing small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). The specific objective of the study is better understanding of the application of collaborative technologies in business, to find the effective factors to assist SMEs to remain competitive in the future. The paper stresses to find an answer for a question "Is there any relationship between company size, Internet connection facility and virtuality?". The survey data shows SMEs are now technologically capable of performing the virtual collaborative team, but the infrastructure usage is less. SMEs now have the necessary technology to begin the implementation process of collaboration tools to reduce research and development (R&D) time, costs and increase productivity. So, the manager of R&D should take the potentials of virtual teams into account.

    "SME E-Cooperation: A Theoretical Team Contract Analysis Under Hidden Information María Verónica Alderete, Universidad Nacional del Sur, Argentina Virtual Cooperation among SME firms can be analyzed from different theoretical perspectives. This paper considers 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). Some conditions are derived under which it is possible to implement an optimal sharing rule for a virtual team of SME under a hidden information frame.

    "By Shawn Ardaiz Tackling complex problems, fostering creativity and positive impact requires well-formed teams. This is the future of business. Those with the ability to combine innovative scenarios with well-thought-out strategy in a collaborative team setting have the potential for outstanding results. Making the impossible possible will take teams that have a carefully selected communication method, use collaboration not just coordination, and have the ability to recruit members with diverse backgrounds and expertise. Methods of communication are critical. Technology has made it convenient to work at a distance. In the DMBA program, our team meetings often center around video chat. However, have we taken the time to think about the potential impact? The dance of communication is lost in the delays associated with technology. We lack the non-verbal cues which help us determine whose turn it is to talk. Matching communication method and task is critical in maximizing a team's potential. Virtual teams tend to be more task-oriented. In the article "Virtual Teams Versus Face-to-Face Teams: An Exploratory Study of a Web-based Conference System," we see that the exchange of information is more difficult in virtual teams, slowing the development of relational links. Another article, "Interdisciplinary Collaboration in Digital Media Arts," examines the importance of relational links and how they foster openness, personal trust, willingness to compromise, common interests, sympathy and spatial proximity. Why are developing relational links so important within teams that collaborate? Think back to being on a team that had problems congealing. What methods of communication were being used? How might this have affected the team's relational links? Relational links foster "enhanced creativity and motivation, increased morale, better decisions and fewer process losses." The best teams quickly build a safe environment of respect and trust where collabora

Abstract Journal impact factor (IF) as a gauge of influence and impact of a particular journal comparing with other journals in the same area of research, reports the mean number of citations to the published articles in particular journal. Although, IF attracts more attention and being used more frequently than other measures, it has been subjected to criticisms, which overcome the advantages of IF. Critically, extensive use of IF may result in destroying editorial and researchers' behaviour, which could compromise the quality of scientific articles. Therefore, it is the time of the timeliness and importance of a new invention of journal ranking techniques beyond the journal impact factor.

Gouvea da Costa, (Pontifical Catholic University of Parana)Citation:Pedro G Ferreira, Edson Pinheiro de Lima, Sergio E. Gouvea da Costa, (2012) "DEVELOPING A METHODOLOGY FOR ASSESSING VIRTUAL TEAMS PERFORMANCE PERCEPTION", International Journal of Productivity and Performance Management, Vol. 61 Iss: 7Article type:Research paperPublisher:Emerald Group Publishing LimitedAbstract:Purpose - The main purpose of this paper is to describe and test a methodology to measure the level of comprehension of priorities in Performance Measurement Systems by Virtual TeamsDesign/methodology/approach - Through the combination of existing models for performance measurement, it is a proposed and tested methodology to use focus groups for identifying virtual team’s performance perceptions and comprehension. Findings - Preliminary findings show that virtual teams could express their perception about companies’ goals and performance requirements, and could also improve their commitment to companies’ operations strategy by performance gaps assessment.Research limitations/implications - The proposed methodology was tested in a portion of a team just to validate the aplicability of such methodology.Practical implications - Preliminary findings show that virtual teams could express their perception about companies’ goals and performance requirements, and could also improve their commitment to companies’ operations strategy by performance gaps assessment.Originality/value - Literature is scant both on gender issues in Performance Measurement, as well as on Virtual Teams. This article contributes to both areas, while evaluating the impact of such methodology in Virtual Teams.
