Teamwork in organizations today is generally characterized by
members working across multiple spatial and temporal boundaries in
complex configurations comprised of multi team arrangements,
member turnover, and multiple organizational boundaries, among
other things. Contemporary virtual teams can rarely be studied as
single units because they are often coming led into larger
organizational networks with multiple teams, locations, function
as and organizational memberships. Most business, government and
scientific projects and processes today have a very prominent
virtual dimension. Virtual collaborators often do not have the
same first language, come from different national cultures, work
in different time zones and may be employed by different
organizations, and enter collaborations with different
expectations for group processes. These differences, among others,
present unique opportunities for management and leadership.
Research on virtual teams, organizations and networks is nece
ssarily multi-disciplinary in order to address the key challenges
while accounting for the complex context in which virtual
collaborations occur. Thus, we encourage submissions that may
inform practice and research in virtual collaboration through a
variety of academic lenses and highlight methodological issues and
innovation in the study of virtual teams, organizations, and
networks.
This minitrack invites papers that offer direct and indirect
insights into the successful operation of virtual teams,
organizations and networks, including research in the vein of
computer supported collaborative work (CSCW), computer supported
collaborative learning (CSCW), and social and organizational
networks. The topics for this minitrack include but are not
limited to:
* Spatial and temporal separation and its effects on collaboration
* Coordination in virtual collaboration
* Cultural differences in perception of time
* Conflict management across cultures
* Project management styles and differences across cultures
* Differences in language understanding and its effects on
collaboration
* Power distance and its effects on collaboration
