    "Virtual Collaborative R&D Teams in Malaysia Manufacturing SMEs Nader Ale Ebrahim, Department of Engineering Design and Manufacture, Faculty of Engineering, University of Malaya Shamsuddin Ahmed Salwa Hanim Abdul Rashid Zahari Taha M. A. Wazed 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. Suggested Citation ALE EBRAHIM, N., AHMED, S., ABDUL RASHID, S. H., TAHA, Z. & WAZED, M. A. 2012.

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

  • The effectiveness of virtual R&D teams in SMEs: experiences of Malaysian SMEs Ale Ebrahim, N.; Abdul Rashid, S.H.; Ahmed, S.; Taha, Z. (2011) The effectiveness of virtual R&D teams in SMEs: experiences of Malaysian SMEs. Industrial Engineering and Management Systems, 10 (2). pp. 109-114. ISSN 1598-7248 Preview PDF (The number of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), especially those involved with research and development (R&D) programs and employed virtual teams to create the greatest competitive advantage from limited labor are increasing.) - Published Version Available under License Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication. Download (85Kb) | Preview Official URL: http://kiie.org/iems/contents/vol10no2/10-2-03.pdf Abstract The number of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), especially those involved with research and development (R&D) programs and employed virtual teams to create the greatest competitive advantage from limited labor are increasing. Global and localized virtual R&D teams are believed to have high potential for the growth of SMEs. Due to the fast-growing complexity of new products coupled with new emerging opportunities of virtual teams, a collaborative approach is believed to be the future trend. This research explores the effectiveness of virtuality in SMEs’ virtual R&D teams. Online questionnaires were emailed to Malaysian manufacturing SMEs and 74 usable questionnaires were received, representing a 20.8 percent return rate. In order to avoid biases which may result from pre-suggested answers, a series of open-ended questions were retrieved from the experts. This study was focused on analyzing an open-ended question, whereby four main themes were extracted from the experts’ recommendations regarding the effectiveness of virtual teams for the growth and performance of SMEs. The findings of this study would be useful to product design managers of SMEs in order to realize the key advantages and significance of virtual R&D teams during the new product development (NPD) process. This in turn, leads to increased effectiveness in new product development's procedure. Item Type: Article

    "Home > Vol 6, No 3 > Lesko, Jr. Incorporating Virtually Immersive Environments as a Collaborative Medium for Virtual Teaming Charles J. Lesko, Jr., Christine R. Russell Abstract Virtually immersive environments incorporate the use of various computer modelling and simulation techniques enabling geographically dispersed virtual project teams to interact within an artificially projected three-dimensional space online. This study focused on adoption of virtually immersive technologies as a collaborative media to support virtual teaming of both graduate and undergraduate-level project management students. The data and information from this study has implications for educators using virtually immersive environments in the classroom. In this study, we specifically evaluated two key components in this paper: 1) students' level of trust and; 2) students' willingness to use the technology, along with their belief about the virtual environment's ability to extend and improve knowledge sharing in their team work environment. We learned that while students did find the environment a positive add on for working collaboratively, there were students who were neither more nor less likely to use the technology for future collaborative ventures. Most of the students who were not very positive about the environment were "fence sitters" likely indicating needs related to additional training to improve communication skills. Finally, based on the full study results we have provided basic recommendations designed to support team trust building in the system along with interpersonal trust building to facilitate knowledge transfer and better strategic us of the technology.

    "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
