Abstract

Business organizations and global partners are increasing their utilization of "virtual project teams to enhance competitive advantages in the global market. More than ever, organizations are using virtual teamwork to bridge time zones and geographic distances. The use of virtual work environments has spurred interest in understanding how team members interact and collaborate over the life of a project. Not surprisingly, organizations are trying to understand what factors are determinants of success with respect to virtual teams. Increasing network bandwidth, continuously improving communication technologies, shifting global economies, and changes in social practices have caused business managers to reconsider traditional practices. This paper provides a comparative case study of four cross-cultural virtual project teams as they analyze, design, and develop information systems.
虚拟项目团队的系统开发:四个案例的比较研究
商业组织和全球合作伙伴正在增加他们对“虚拟项目团队”的利用,以增强在全球市场上的竞争优势。组织比以往任何时候都更多地使用虚拟团队来跨越时区和地理距离。虚拟工作环境的使用激发了人们对理解团队成员在项目生命周期中如何交互和协作的兴趣。毫不奇怪,组织正在试图了解哪些因素是虚拟团队成功的决定因素。不断增加的网络带宽、不断改进的通信技术、不断变化的全球经济以及社会实践的变化已经导致企业管理者重新考虑传统做法。本文提供了四个跨文化虚拟项目团队分析、设计和开发信息系统的比较案例研究。
