HICSS 2020 Call for Papers: Distributed Collaboration in Organizations and Networks Mini-track

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 * Uncertainty (risk) avoidance and its effects on collaboration * Anonymity in multicultural teams * eLeadership * Deception in virtual teams * Social loafing in virtual teams * Personality and its role in virtual teams * Cross-cultural training * Virtual team collaboration and innovation * Emotion in virtual teams * Relationship building in virtual teams * Information sharing in virtual teams * Collaboration and communication tools * Differences between academic and non-academic virtual teams * Virtual team case studies * Social Network Analysis and virtual teams * Identifying multi-level influences on virtual teams, organizations, and networks * Multi-teaming in virtual collaboration * Scientific collaboration in virtual teams (Team Science)
