    "By Dr. Al Jury · January 22, 2012 · No comments leadership, virtual teams · Tagged: collaboration tools, virtual teams success virtual teams Establishing a virtual team is a key part of a team's long term effectiveness. Setting up virtual teams can be a challenging process, especially for team members who have never participated in a virtual team before. Focusing on a number of core elements as discussed below, should help a virtual team leader to more quickly get a virtual team up and running. 1. Choose an experienced leader The leader of a virtual team has a large impact on the set up and success of a virtual team. Virtual teams tend to rely more heavily on a virtual team leader as they have less direct interaction between team members. Often communication flow in a virtual team is between members and the leader, rather than between members themselves (which is more typical of co-located teams). As such, a virtual team leader needs to be someone who is comfortable managing people remotely, who can use the technology to effectively provide task instructions and build relationships in the absence of face to face interaction. As there is much to learn for first time virtual team leaders, we suggest that a leader has at least had previous leadership experience so that they can then concentrate on the differences a virtual team has. Read more about effective virtual team leaders. 2. Select members who are suited to working in virtual teams Where virtual teams tend to fail, it is often a result of the lack of familiarity, physical distance and incompatible time zones of team members. One of the easiest ways to ensure the success of a virtual team is pick a few team members who already know each other. This way, trust (one of the more difficult aspects to develop virtually) may be established much faster. If it is not possible to find members who have worked together previously, try and arrange a face-to-face meeting at the start (as mentioned below) to devel

    "Effective Virtual Teams for New Product Development Nader Ale Ebrahim, Department of Engineering Design and Manufacture, Faculty of Engineering, University of Malaya Shamsuddin Ahmed Salwa Hanim Abdul Rashid Zahari Taha Abstract At present, the existing literature shows that the factors which influence the effectiveness of virtual teams for new product development are still ambiguous. 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.

Department of Engineering Design and Manufacture, Faculty of Engineering, University of Malaya, 50603 Lembah Pantai, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia View references (78) Abstract Innovation plays a central role in economic development, at regional and national level. In the competitive environment companies are obliged to produce more rapidly, more effectively and more efficiently in new product development which is a result of research and development (R&D) activities. It is necessary for them to put together different capabilities and services with the goal, through cooperation between suppliers and customers, service providers and scientific institutions to achieve innovations of high quality. Depending on the type of industry, the type of business, the type of innovation and the strategic objectives that have been set, firms will regularly have to modify the way in which their R&D and innovation is organized. Nowadays shift from serial to simultaneous and parallel working in innovation has become more commonplace. Literatures have shown that collaboration is as a meta-capability for innovation. By a comprehensive reviewing of literature this article after define a virtual teams and its characteristics, addressing virtual environments innovation and the relationship to R&D activities. Finally conclude that innovation cannot be successful unless the knowledge and information in the R&D project are effectively captured, shared and internalized by the R&D project's virtual team members. © EuroJournals Publishing, Inc. 2009.

    "Mobility Matters: Technology, Telework, and the (Un)sustainable Consumption of Distance Hynes, Michael URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10379/3814 Date: 2013-11-01 Abstract: Anthropogenic climate change and its environmental and social consequences are of increasing concern worldwide. Approaches that advocate a 'greening' of current economic and social systems through technological innovation and development tend to dominate policy responses, particularly in resource-intensive sectors such as transport. Technology is perceived in (over)optimistic terms, with limited evidence of challenges to contemporary growth-centric models of development, production, and consumption that cause climate change, a position that can be labelled as a shallow Ecological Modernisation (EM) approach. Work takes up a considerable portion of people's lives whilst travelling to and from work has become a key feature of everyday mobility in many developed and developing countries. A significant contributor to Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, transport in its current form is deemed to be unsustainable. In a European context, telework - an arrangement that enables employees work from home - has been suggested as a virtual mobility option with the potential to reduce the 'consumption of distance' associated with regular commuting. Given its emphasis on the application of technology to solve environmental problems, the uncritical promotion of telework constitutes a prime example of shallow EM thinking. Despite the prominence of EM rhetoric in climate policy and practice, theoretically informed empirical explorations of its implementation and impacts remain incomplete. Drawing on a multi-method investigation of telework in the Republic of Ireland, this research finds current policy thinking and practice amongst decision-makers to be largely reflective of neo-liberal environmentalism, contributing little to curbing the consumerist impulses of contemporary economic models and lifestyles.

  • Modified Stage-Gate: A Conceptual Model of Virtual Product Development Process ssrn.com Updated Today Nader Ale Ebrahim Department of Engineering Design and Manufacture, Faculty of Engineering, University of Malaya; Research Support Unit, Centre of Research Services, Institute of Research Management and Monitoring (IPPP), University of Malaya Shamsuddin Ahmed University of Malaya (UM) Zahari Taha University of Malaya (UM) November 9, 2009 African Journal of Marketing Management, Vol. 1, No. 9, pp. 211-219, December 2009 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.   Number of Pages in PDF File: 9 Keywords: Modified stage-gate system, virtual product development, conceptual model JEL Classification: L15, L23, O14, Q31, Q32 Accepted Paper Series Download This Paper Date posted: December 16, 2009 ; Last revised: December 28, 2009 Suggested Citation Ale Ebrahim, Nader and Ahmed, Shamsuddin and Taha, Zahari, Modified Stage-Gate: A Conceptual Model of Virtual Product Development Process (November 9, 2009).

This paper presents a computer aided methodology for defining and controlling subsystem interfaces. Interfaces are considered as interconnections between subsystem ports. Ports are specified by using an ontology that ensures consistency of interface definitions among different design teams. Every port that is based on the ontology is eventually defined by a set of attributes that are derived from its form and function. Interfaces between ports are formed when ports are mated. The essence of port mating is described by logical information that is expressed in two forms. First, a set of requirements are defined for an individual port to ensure that it functions properly. Second, connectivity rules are expressed between ports to guarantee that they integrate correctly. A software architecture that operates on port information and controls the status of subsystem interfaces during collaboration is described. A piece of software is implemented based on the proposed architecture and its functionality is demonstrated by two examples. The examples show how the software can be used to replace interface control documents and support collaboration. The software allows designers to load subsystem descriptions from a shared

    "How Can Software Development Companies Build Engagement to Common Goals Among Globally Dispersed Teams? Greg Bartlomiejczuk, Cornell University Nicholas Born, Cornell University Publication Date Spring 2015 Abstract It's hard enough to get people who are co-located onto the same page. Add to that the complexity of multiple regions, varying cultures, and virtual communication that characterize globally dispersed teams, and the demands placed on leaders can quickly multiply. Not surprisingly, participation in and management of globally dispersed teams comes with its own unique opportunities and challenges. Globally dispersed teams allow organizations to garner talent from around the world, have greater cost flexibility, and can bring diverse perspectives to the table. On the other hand, they must overcome a greater likelihood of communication breakdowns, lack of collaboration, dissimilar work processes, and difficulty building trust and cohesiveness. In response, we embarked on our own investigation of what makes globally dispersed teams - specifically in the software development industry - high performing. Drawing from real-world examples, we will propose 3 key areas that HR professionals should hone in on to ensure that globally dispersed teams remain engaged, collaborative, and focused on common goals.

Details HBR Blog Network How to Build Trust in a Virtual Workplace by Keith Ferrazzi | 2:00 PM October 8, 2012 Comments (11) Teams can't function well when co-workers don't trust one another. Building and maintaining trust in the traditional, physical workplace is difficult enough, but the process is even tougher in a virtual environment, where people often have to work with people they haven't met in person. Some biologists believe that we are hardwired to distrust everyone except our own family members. Studies have shown, however, that trust can indeed be actively accelerated and maintained on virtual teams even when they have to be assembled on the fly with employees scattered across the globe. According to our research, the following best practices will help: Leverage "swift trust." Recognize that when groups first form, people are usually willing to give others the benefit of the doubt. The prevailing feeling is that "we're in the same boat together": success will reflect well on everyone, whereas failure could hurt people's careers. So people initially operate in a positive atmosphere of "swift trust." (This is what colloquially we might call the "honeymoon period" of a relationship). This is particularly true if the group is under pressure to perform so that, in effect, people have little choice but to trust each other. This is easily seen on a movie set, where actors, stuntmen, the director, makeup artists, set designers, the camera crew, and others collaborate intensely from day one even though they might have been strangers before. There are two ways to assure you take best advantage of the benefits of swift trust. Managers should 1) tout the competence of the different team members and 2) ensure that the team has clear goals that everyone understands. Over ti
