We studied 80 software development teams from 28 labs worldwide (including labs in Brazil, China, Denmark, France, Germany, India and the United States). The labs varied in size (employing between 20 and 5,500 software developers), and each team contained up to nine members. Our research included those software development projects that were completed within 12 months prior to data collection. A total of 392 managers, team leaders and team members participated in the study, and data from multiple respondents were used to ensure the validity of results and to overcome common method bias.

al_e_ebrahim Says: Your comment is awaiting moderation. November 2nd, 2011 at 11:59 am Thank you professor Frank Siebdrat for sharing your research findings. I do believe “Virtual teams will become as important as Web to companies” in near future. We have done a survey study and published a series of papers on “Virtual teams” and “ virtual R&D teams” which is available on http://ssrn.com/author=1379350 . All in all, we define a new definition for “virtual team” (virtual team “is small temporary groups of geographically, organizationally and/ or time dispersed knowledge workers who coordinate their work predominantly with electronic information and communication technologies in order to accomplish one or more organization tasks”[1]) and found the advantages of employing virtual teams is far from conventional teams.
