    "Managing the virtual world By Golnaz Sadri and John Condia Executive Summary The skyrocketing availability of communication tools has given enterprises the ability to establish project teams that not only include office compatriots, but colleagues from other countries and continents. Some say management is management, but those who pick team leaders and members face additional challenges when managing their far-flung charges. Jon Katzenback and Douglas Smith in Harvard Business Review define a work team as a group of people with complementary skills who are committed to a common mission, set of performance goals and task approach for which they hold themselves mutually accountable. Virtual teams possess these same qualities with the added ability to employ geographically dispersed people who use technology and communication to accomplish their work across time and space, according to Michelle LaBrosse in Employment Relations Today. The use of virtual teams is growing. A 2010 survey of employees at 600 multinational corporations conducted by RW3 CultureWizard found that 80 percent of respondents belonged to a virtual team. Those who manage virtual teams have challenges that sometimes differ from those who handle face-to-face teams. The following recommendations can help those involved in virtual team member selection, leadership and process, thereby maximizing their effectiveness. Though different in some ways, virtual teams have many characteristics in common with successful co-located teams. Blaise Bergiel, Erich Bergiel and Phillip Balsmeier in Management Research News describe the keys to success for both face-to-face and virtual teams as: high levels of trust, open and clear communication, strong leadership, clear goals and purpose and the use of appropriate levels of technology. Differences include the fact that virtual teams are able to span across spatial distance and multiple time zones. Team members can be as close as one floor away or as far apart a

    "Dealing with Virtual R&D Teams in New Product Development Nader Ale Ebrahim, Shamsuddin Ahmed and Zahari Taha MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany Abstract: National and global collaboration in research and development (R&D) is becoming increasingly important in creating the knowledge that makes research and business more competitive. Multinational enterprises have increased their research and development (R&D) investment in different countries. These multiple sites encourage the development of more ideas, due to the varied international backgrounds in global networks and the knowledge spillovers. In order to secure the viability of business processes, services and products R&D teams need to access and retrieve information from as many sources as possible. From the other perspective virtual teams are important mechanisms for organizations seeking to control scarce resources across geographic and other boundaries. Moreover, virtual collaboration has become vital for most organizations. This is particularly true in the context of designing new product and innovative services. In this paper all the major aspects of Virtual R&D team are discussed in technical terms. The paper provides an integral definition and characterization of virtual R&D team. The potential value that is created by virtual R&D teams for new product development is explored. Lastly, pertinent practical guidelines and implications are presented.

    "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'.

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.

MTTs are distinct hybrid entities, with goals taken from both industry and academic models. We identified 30 design factors in 10 domains from a literature survey relevant to our MTT model: specific goals, structures, and processes. These dimensions were adapted to our own institutional environment in the selection and management of 11 MTTs that exploited resources of University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) Clinical and Translational Sciences Award

Chris Ducker: The Art of Managing a Virtual Team - Online Collaboration - 0 views

  •  
    "Chris Ducker: The Art of Managing a Virtual Team By Thursday Bram Nov. 9, 2010, 9:00am PT 3 Comments inShare Chris Ducker has made an art out of outsourcing. He not only writes about effectively building virtual business systems and teams at Virtual Business Lifestyle, but he also operates Virtual Staff Finder. Ducker's in-depth knowledge of how to work with team members who may be on the other side of the world gives him special insight into managing teams virtually. He answered a few questions for us about his process. Thursday Bram: How do you make sure that, day in and day out, the team members you work with virtually stay on top of your projects? Chris Ducker: I use a project management system that I had one of my staff program - it's very close to Basecamp, but watered-down. I also have my personal assistant speak with them on a daily basis, too. I am not a major slave-driver with my virtual assistants. I allow them to pretty much do whatever they want, and work whenever they want‚ just as long as the work itself gets done and to the high level that I expect. Thursday: What training or tools do you think someone interested in working with a team virtually needs? Ducker: This really changes from one case to another. For some it can be very little, for others, quite intense. For sure, the virtual assistants have to be very, very web savvy. They should know their way around all the social networking sites properly, blogging tools, and be able to use Google and Google Apps. Training can be done mostly via videos on YouTube and perhaps some more personalized screencasts that you can make with software like Jing, for example. I also use Dropbox for all of the sharing and back-up needs that we have, too. Thursday: What problems do you commonly see with organizations or individuals interested in working with a virtual assistant? Ducker: It has to be that they believe that one single virtual assistant is going to be able to perform like a team, and do

Yael Zofi | A Manager's Guide to Virtual Teams Virtual work arrangements are on the rise as traditional work situations are giving way to more flexible ones. The concept of an office in a fixed location that you have to go to is becoming less universal. As executives engage in stringent cost cutting, office space and their attendant expenses shrink, and fewer employees spend their workday at adjoining workstations. Today, knowledge workers can be productive anywhere, thanks to mobile devices, faster network access and online collaboration tools available in coffee houses, inside homes and on city streets. While organizations have long established operations in multiple locations, colleagues are increasingly asked to collaborate across time zones and continents, with shared responsibility for outcomes. In my consulting practice I have seen large conglomerates organize projects around teams that reside in different countries, fully expecting that they will get deliverables out the door quickly within budgetary and time constraints. These teams follow the sun, handing off work products to each other. This is all made possible by technology, the great enabler that helps us create efficiencies and fosters quick decision-making. But what about the human connection? Although team members do not share the same location, they must still work collaboratively to meet common goals. What keeps these individuals organized, communicative, and productive without ongoing face-to-face interactions? And how will organizations ensure the human connection that fue
