VIRTUAL TEAMS




The emergence of effective and relatively cheap information and communications technology, particularly web-based techniques, has led to the increased use of so-called “virtual teams”.
The main challenges of this type of teams are the communication, leadership skills and the avoidance of conflict, because it is evident that there are lack of community among participants, there is no face to face communication, lack of immediate managerial oversight and it is really difficult to find harmony between members, since most of the times, they don’t know each other and everything depends of words that are said by technological means.
Every virtual team has to make at least 2 face to face meetings where the members should make a realistic agenda, and planning all the project, giving the respective task for everyone.
