    "Knowledge Virtualization and Local Connectedness among Smart High-tech Companies Contents: Author info Abstract Bibliographic info Download info Related research References Citations Lists Statistics Corrections Author Info Marina van Geenhuizen (m.s.vangeenhuizen@tudelft.nl) (Delft University of Technology, Delft) Peter Nijkamp (p.nijkamp@vu.nl) (VU University Amsterdam) Registered author(s): Peter Nijkamp Abstract Smart high-tech companies are characterized by knowledge intensity and open innovation. Even when these companies emerge in spatial clusters or dense urban places, they may utilize knowledge networks on a global scale. However, there is not much insight into the factors that shape knowledge networks, the role of virtualization herein and the impact of on global knowledge sourcing on local connectedness. This paper seeks to fill these gaps in understanding, by drawing on a selected sample of young high-technology companies in the Netherlands and application of rough set analysis to identify homogeneous categories of companies in the highly differentiated segment of young high-tech companies. The outcomes suggest that employing mainly local and employing mainly global knowledge networks coexist in city-regions, and that only part of the globalized companies are losing local connectedness, particularly those involved in co-creation with global customers and those acting as learning partners of multinational corporations ('reverse' knowledge transfer). Factors counteracting a weakening of local connectedness are specific local knowledge relationships and the strategy of developing local/regional customer markets.

    "Modified stage-gate: A conceptual model of virtual product development process Contents: Author info Abstract Bibliographic info Download info Related research References Citations Lists Statistics Corrections Author Info Ale Ebrahim, Nader Ahmed, Shamsuddin Taha, Zahari Registered author(s): Nader Ale Ebrahim Abstract In today's dynamic marketplace, manufacturing companies are under strong pressure to introduce new products for long-term survival with their competitors. Nevertheless, every company cannot cope up progressively or immediately with the market requirements due to knowledge dynamics being experienced in the competitive milieu. Increased competition and reduced product life cycles put force upon companies to develop new products faster. In response to these pressing needs, there should be some new approach compatible in flexible circumstances. This paper presents a solution based on the popular Stage-Gate system, which is closely linked with virtual team approach. Virtual teams can provide a platform to advance the knowledge-base in a company and thus to reduce time-to-market. This article introduces conceptual product development architecture under a virtual team umbrella. The paper describes all the major aspects of new product development (NPD), NPD process and its relationship with virtual teams, Stage-Gate system finally presents a modified Stage-Gate system to cope up with the changing needs. It also provides the guidelines for the successful implementation of virtual teams in new product development.

    "Innovation Process is Facilitated in Virtual Environment of R&D Teams Contents: Author info Abstract Bibliographic info Download info Related research References Citations Lists Statistics Corrections Author Info Shafia, Mohammad Ali Ale Ebrahim, Nader Ahmed, Shamsuddin Taha, Zahari Registered author(s): Nader Ale Ebrahim Abstract Innovation is becoming the most important key issue for company's success in the 21st century. In the competitive environment it is necessary for the enterprises to put together different capabilities and services with the goal. It is widely accepted that innovation can be better achieved by working in team particularly in the virtual environments. The employed web services technology, although very popular nowadays but it is still not mature enough, so dealing with it can bring new findings. Virtual teams base on information technology are formed to facilitate transnational innovation processes and it should be noted that innovation has a positive impact on corporate performance if it is well guided. This has the pronounced effect when it comes to the learning issues as the virtual preconditions persist. In this environment the possibility of getting closer to the interest of learner from the new environment raise as the barriers being imposed by the service provider is reduced and the freedom of what is require to learn is improved. Information and communication technology has brought about significant changes in organizations and produced important benefits, including in the areas of innovation which is recognized as a prime source of national competitive advantage. This contribution proposes a conceptual model for understanding and analyzing the process of virtual R&D team as an innovation and technology assimilation facilitator when it comes to the issue of conveying innovative message for learning by individuals.

    "Virtual Collaborative R&D Teams in Malaysia Manufacturing SMEs Contents: Author info Abstract Bibliographic info Download info Related research References Citations Lists Statistics Corrections Author Info Ale Ebrahim, Nader Ahmed, Shamsuddin Abdul Rashid, Salwa Hanim Taha, Zahari Registered author(s): Nader Ale Ebrahim Abstract This paper presents the results of empirical research conducted during March to September 2009. 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.

    "Business Development Capabilities in Information Technology SMEs in a Regional Economy: An Exploratory Study Contents: Author info Abstract Bibliographic info Download info Related research References Citations Lists Statistics Corrections Author Info Charles Davis (c5davis@ryerson.ca) Elaine Sun Registered author(s): Abstract "Business development" is a corporate entrepreneurial capability (or competence) that has emerged in the Information Technology industry to support that industry's practice of co-creation of value with customers and complementors. As a set of practices that link the firm's value creating processes with its external environment, business development capabilities are a key factor in the success of IT SMEs. This article examines business development functions and business developer attributes in SMEs in the Information Technology Industry in Eastern Canada. The principal business development functions are finding profitable opportunities in business networks, developing and maintaining partnerships, providing support for new product development, and recognizing and responding to customer needs. The regional market and export markets require different business development capabilities.

    "eam Performance Management Volume 23, Issue 5-6, 2017, Pages 227-242 Working separately but together: appraising virtual project team challenges(Article) Zuofa, T.aEmail Author, Ochieng, E.G.bEmail Author View Correspondence (jump link) aFaculty of Engineering, Environment and Computing, Coventry, United Kingdom bCranfield School of Management, Cranfield University, Cranfield, United Kingdom Abstract View references (72) Purpose: This paper aims to extend the extant knowledge on virtual teams by examining the challenges of virtual project teams in organisations in Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach: Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Totally, 20 interviews were recorded, transcribed and analysed. Validity and reliability were achieved by first assessing the plausibility in terms of already existing knowledge on some of the virtual project team issues identified by participants. Findings: The findings from this study confirmed the growing relevance of virtual project teams in highly competitive global business environments. It emerged that some of the challenges identified in the study had some level of congruence with those previously identified from similar studies from other geographical locations. The findings also suggested that challenges in virtual project teams can be linked to the organisation, the project team and the virtual environment or even a combination of all. Practical implications: The present study corroborates the position that managing virtual project teams requires additional efforts to attain their objectives through effective communications and the adoption of appropriate technology. Originality/value: The originality of this study lies in its exploration of virtual project team challenges in a sub-Saharan Africa country (Nigeria). By identifying the challenges associated with virtual project teams, stakeholders will be better able to successfully establish and manage virtual project teams better. © 2

  • &nbsp; Virtual R&amp;D Teams Definition Nader Ale Ebrahim&nbsp; The literature related to virtual R&amp;D teams reveals a lack of depth in the definitions(AleEbrahim et al., 2010). Although virtual teamwork is a current topic in the literatureconcerning global organizations, it is problematic to define the meaning of 'virtual teams'across multiple institutional contexts (Chudoba et al., 2005). The concept of a "team" isdescribed as a small number of people with complementary skills who are equally committedto a common purpose, goal, and working approach for which they hold themselves mutuallyaccountable (Zenun et al., 2007). It is worth mentioning that virtual teams (VTs) are oftenformed to overcome geographical or temporal separations (Cascio and Shurygailo, 2003).VTs work across boundaries of time and space using modern computer-driven technologies(Ebrahim et al., 2010). The term "VTs" is used to cover a wide range of activities and forms of technology-supported working (Anderson et al., 2007). Gassmann and Von Zedtwitz(2003) defined "virtual team as a group of people and sub-teams who interact throughinterdependent tasks guided by common purpose and work across links strengthened byinformation, communication, and transport technologies". Another definition suggests thatvirtual teams, are distributed work teams whose members are geographically dispersed andcoordinate their work, predominantly with electronic information and communicationtechnologies (e-mail, video conferencing, telephone, etc.) (Hertel et al., 2005). From the&nbsp;perspective of Leenders et al. (2003), VTs are groups of individuals collaborating in theexecution of a specific project while geographically and often temporally distributed,&nbsp;possibly anywhere within (and beyond) their parent organization. Among the differentdefinitions for virtual teams the following form is one of the most widely accepted definition:''VTs as groups of geographically, organizationally and/or time dispersed workers broughttogether by information technologies to accomplish one or more organization tasks''(Powellet al., 2004).Therefore, a comprehensive definition of virtual teams may be taken as: &nbsp;small temporary&nbsp;groups of geographically, organizationally and/or time dispersed knowledge workers whocoordinate their work, predominantly with electronic information and communicationtechnologies in order to accomplish one or more organization tasks (Ale Ebrahim et al.,2009).

Zawiera w sobie aspekty związane z nie tylko z funkcjonowaniem indywidualnych osób i grup, lecz także zespołów międzynarodowych i wielokulturowych w wyjątkowym, wirtualnym środowisku pracy. Organizacje pierwszej dekady XXI wieku działające w niezwykle dynamicznym, zmiennym i złożonym środowisku stają obecnie przed szeregiem ważnych wyzwań. Po pierwsze, wszelka działalność ekonomiczna zmierza w kierunku globalizacji (Acs, Preston 1997). Po drugie, ograniczoność zasobów planety oraz kwestie ekologiczne powodują konieczność zupełnie nowych, innowacyjnych rozwiązań technologicznych. Po trzecie, niezwykle wysoka globalna konkurencyjność wymaga szybkich działań biznesowych i skrócenia czasu dotarcia produktu na rynek. Nowe wyzwania kreują potrzebę nowych rozwiązań w sferze badań i rozwoju, technologii produkcji, organizacji oraz nowoczesnych metod pracy i logistyki. Jest to niezwykłe zadanie biorąc pod uwagę fakt, że ściśle współpracujące ze sobą działy są często odległe od siebie o tysiące kilometrów i kilka stref czasowych. Z drugiej strony, szybki rozwój mediów informatycznych i elektronicznych powoduje, że ich praca staje się prostsza, szybsza i bardziej efektywna (Hertel 2005). Złożone zadania

To address this problem, a research design was developed, which includes detailed literature review, preliminary model and field survey. From literature review, the factors which influence the effectiveness of virtual teams are identified and these factors are modified using a field survey. The relationship between knowledge workers (people), process and technology in virtual teams is explored in this study. The results of the study suggest that technology and process are tightly correlated and need to be considered early in virtual teams. The use of software as a service, web solution, report generator and tracking system should be incorporated for effectiveness virtual teams.

    "As the world becomes more mobile, those looking for management positions need to be sure to have the skills necessary for leading virtual teams. This is an exciting opportunity for leaders to step up and change the way business is done, becoming trendsetters in new areas of expertise. Many of the skills developed in traditional leadership roles will be instrumental in creating a successful team. Clarity of focus is important. Be sure the members of the team are aware of their individual roles, as well as the goals of the entire team. In order for a virtual team to have a true connection, each member must be aware of the reasons he or she was chosen for the team. They must have confidence in their own skill sets, and understand what they each bring to the table. Virtual does not mean disorganized. Procedures must be established regarding communication protocol, meeting formats, and technologies that will be used. A team web page or social media page is a great place to connect; if properly done, it will serve as a virtual water cooler. Communication will promote discipline. Because information is sometimes shared at a slower pace between virtual teammates, it is crucial that the project manager ensures that time is managed effectively and deadlines are maintained. Foster transparency by keeping communication in a shared database. "Live" documents are a great way to promote teamwork; by allowing team members access to the same document at the same time, cooperation is encouraged and duplication is minimized. Every team member should have a voice. Solicit feedback, and act on the items that will best promote team cohesiveness. The key to building trust and success is to encourage candid feedback, and reinforce to team members that their voices are being heard. Trust is the key to a successful team. Traditional methods of trust building are difficult when team members are dispersed and interaction is minimal. Therefore, it is extremely importan
