    "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.

    "Managing virtual teams in multinational companies Mogale, Lizzy; Sutherland, Margaret URI: http://hdl.handle.net/2263/15316 Date: 2010 Abstract: Globalisation and advances in technology have led to the rapid increase in permanent virtual teams in multinational companies as a form of competitive advantage. The main purpose of this research was to identify perceptions on leadership preferences and factors enabling or inhibiting the effective leadership of virtual teams. The qualitative phase of this research generated in-depth knowledge on the constructs for phase 2, which consisted of a survey of 59 respondents from four continents. The outcome revealed that socio-emotional leadership capabilities are key to success in the leadership of multinational virtual teams. Specific recommendations are made to virtual team leaders on the basis of consistent views expressed by managers and subordinates on findings on the relative importance of key leadership skills, plus the enablers and inhibitors of managing virtual teams.

Facultad de Ingeniería-Sede Bogotá. Bogotá. Colombia. RESUMEN Este trabajo es una revisión sobre los desafíos que se presentan en la formación de ingenieros para desempeñarse en manufactura y las propuestas de tipo curricular y didáctico para enfrentar los desafíos detectados. Se decanta que la industria de manufactura contemporánea está sometida a una dinámica de transformación paulatinamente más rápida para satisfacer las demandas locales y globales. Varios investigadores plantean que esta dinámica se debe reflejar también en la educación en ingeniería e indican la necesidad inaplazable de integrar el conocimiento práctico en el currículo. Se evidencia también una rápida expansión e influencia de las tecnologías de la información y comunicaciones en los procesos educativos y son puestos en consideración los nuevos estilos de aprendizaje de los jóvenes y su influencia en las prácticas utilizadas en el aula. Finalmente, se reportan varios enfoques estructurados para evaluar, ajustar y rediseñar las acciones de formación, entre otras, el aprendizaje por proyectos. Palabras claves: ingeniería, procesos de manufactura, enseñanza, aprendizaje, enfoques estructurados. ABSTRACT This paper is a review of the challenges presented in the training of engineers to work in the manufacturing industry and the proposals of curricular and didactic kind to address the challenges identified.

    "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.

It's as if they're speaking a foreign language-and they are. Michael's situation is not unique. As our working world mirrors the global neighborhood we inhabit, organizations reflect the reality of managing and communicating with an increasingly multicultural workforce. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2006, the U.S. labor pool included 15.3% foreign-born workers who accounted for more than half of the total labor force increase from the previous year. This trend will not slow down in the near future, and those of us who work with and manage a multicultural team face little choice but to broaden our perspective to engage with individuals from a wide range of cultures. The diversity of our long-term care world raises many issues for those in charge. We need to create a culturally sensitive workplace that accomplishes two objectives: (1) fosters good communication and working relationships and (2) prevents discrimination and harassment. Research studies conducted by AIM Strategies® on global leadership confirmed the need for today's leaders to develop the ability to communicate with and understand today's multicultural workforce. Which brings up the question: How can you increase your sensitivity to individual and/or cultural differences to deliver quality resident care? Here are some guidelines to assist you. Evaluate Communication Skills It is important to assess the communication skills of staff members. Asking a few key questions during the interview is a good place to start. Here are a few suggestions: "Are you familiar with terms like _________ (state terms and phrases they will hear on a regular basis)?

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.
