"Kurt Danis, CISSP-ISSEP * (1) Virtual teams lean towards a non-social environment - contrary to more social but not so productive environments. Productive individuals earnestly want to get the job done, but out of courtesy go along with the social crowd. In the virtual team environment, "socializing" may lean toward job objectives/challenges. Email, phone calls, and / or conference calls are focused to solve a specific goal. When the answer is obtained, the work moves ahead rapidly. (2) Depending on the caliber of professionals involved and the nature of the work environment, virtual teams may increase productivity significantly. Monitored piece-work environments will demonstrate visible and substantial gains. At the same time, where periodic metrics may show convincing gains, high personnel turn-over may be evident too. In the long-run, professional production environments may see high through-put when a competitive spin is added; and ultimately, the gain decreases as the daily grind becomes stressful or the learning curve flattens-out when the job takes on a more mundane perspective. (3) Motivated professionals may persevere on virtual teams given a carrot for bigger and better goals - in the context of an academic degree, a professional cert, or the hope of a new position is on the horizon. - former network certification and accreditation package validator (4 years) "

"Nader Ale Ebrahim * "Global and localized virtual R&D teams are believed to have high potential for the growth of SMEs. Due to the fast-growing complexity of new products coupled with new emerging opportunities of virtual teams, a collaborative approach is believed to be the future trend.

"Coaching wielokulturowych zespołów wirtualnych Szczegóły Bożena Wujec Coaching zespołów wirtualnych, które dodatkowo są wielokulturowe jest złożonym rodzajem interwencji. Zawiera w sobie aspekty związane z nie tylko z funkcjonowaniem indywidualnych osób i grup, lecz także zespołów międzynarodowych i wielokulturowych w wyjątkowym, wirtualnym środowisku pracy. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie tematyki dotyczącej zespołów wirtualnych a także specyfiki interwencji coachingowej podejmowanej w celu zwiększenia ich efektywności. Na początku zostanie przedstawiona charakterystyka zespołu wirtualnego, jako nowego trendu w rozwoju pracy zespołowej oraz jego odmiana - wirtualny zespół wielokulturowy. Potem zostaną przedstawione korzyści wynikające z pracy takiego zespołu oraz wyzwania przed którymi stoi, co jest punktem wyjścia do zastosowania interwencji coachingowej. Następnie, po omówieniu rodzajów coachingu stosowanego w obszarze zespołów wirtualnych zostanie przedstawiony przykład pełnej takiej interwencji na tle praw rządzących zespołem, tj. dynamiki grupowej i układu hierarchicznego w organizacji. Organizacje pierwszej dekady XXI wieku działające w niezwykle dynamicznym, zmiennym i złożonym środowisku stają obecnie przed szeregiem ważnych wyzwań. Po pierwsze, wszelka działalność ekonomiczna zmierza w kierunku globalizacji (Acs, Preston 1997). Po drugie, ograniczoność zasobów planety oraz kwestie ekologiczne powodują konieczność zupełnie nowych, innowacyjnych rozwiązań technologicznych. Po trzecie, niezwykle wysoka globalna konkurencyjność wymaga szybkich działań biznesowych i skrócenia czasu dotarcia produktu na rynek. Nowe wyzwania kreują potrzebę nowych rozwiązań w sferze badań i rozwoju, technologii produkcji, organizacji oraz nowoczesnych metod pracy i logistyki. Jest to niezwykłe zadanie biorąc pod uwagę fakt, że ściśle współpracujące ze sobą działy są często o
