I finally finished my excerpt (in German only) of a highly interesting article on IT support and virtual teams that appeared in the Journal of Knowledge Management (you can get it by emailing me). The following is a kind of conclusion and abstract.
UNC Business - Fall 2004: “In all, we studied 54 far-flung teams in 31 different companies, including Intel, Textronic and Royal Dutch Shell. We found that these teams were not only productive but also more innovative than face-to-face teams. They make decisions faster with more input from others and develop policies that are implemented worldwide with fewer problems than conventional teams meeting face-to-face often and regularly. These teams were turning conventional logic about far-flung virtual teams on its head, exploding several myths related to such teams along the way:”
And I can tell you there is an application at hand that delivers most of what is recommended. More details soon.
