Virtual R&D teams?Likes (0) by Nader Ale Ebrahim on 20-Aug-10 1:12amHi Steve, Thanks for posting a very precious comment. I have done some research on 'Virtual R&D teams" in small and medium enterprises. The finding has been published as the journal articles and conference papers. In the papers titled "Virtual Teams and Management Challenges" and "Virtual R&D Teams in Small and Medium Enterprises: A Literature Review", I described the management challenges to lead "Virtual R&D Teams". I would like to know, the type(s) of collaborative tools that you use to manage the team? I do appreciate if you or an body in this group, introduce me the most effective collaborative tools for communication between virtual team members. Wish all the best-Nader
