Nortel and BP succeed through virtual teamwork
Abstract
Just imagine … you are sitting down to a quiet, restful dinner after a hard day at the office. Your food is ready, and all thoughts of work are banished. Until the phone rings. To ignore it is out of the question. Why? Because you are a member of a hi‐tech, 24‐hour virtual team who must be available as and when required by other group members. The concept of virtual teaming has been around for over 20 years, but with the upsurge of globalization and the recent wave of technological developments it has taken on a new impetus. So what has changed? And is this type of teaming really as effective as some organizations claim?
