The Krumm article is much more scientific in nature. It also relies on much more tables, data summaries and so forth. Like the Brown article, there is a literature review. However, something that is very unique about the Krumm article, especially as compared to the Brown article, is that there is a table of factors related to intercultural competence. There are about 20-30 items and factors listed. For each item, there is a listing of the sources and references within which those factors are covered or mentioned. For example, the very first one is “ability and willingness to learn or adaptability”, which shows up in six of the references. Overall, there are many more tables in the Krumm work. The analysis and interpretation are thick and prevalent in both works. However, the manifestation of presentation is much more varied and elaborate in the Krumm work. Put another way, the data is mainly summarized in narrative form in the Brown work. Krumm makes use of tables and representations of the data so as to more quickly summarize what is present in the referenced works. That being said, both works reference a lot of exterior and prior research (Brown, Scott-Poole & Rodgers, 2004; Krumm, Terweil & Hertel, 2013).
There are certainly other ways that the data could have been interpreted. This is true of both works. However, there is an important distinction to be made. Indeed, simply summarizing and reviewing the work and assertions of others is fairly straightforward and hard to get wrong so long as one pays attention to what is actually being said. So…
An important limitation of the study was that team members and their experiences of team leadership were not included in the study. A team leader's perception of effective communication may, for example, not be experienced in the same way as a team member receiving the communication. On the other hand, the results of effective team work appear to imply that certain categories of communication are experienced as more effective than
The U.S., Army Logistics Network has defined specific pricing and costing levels by rank, and strives to push accountability and responsibility as far down the chain of command as possible. As nearly every officer who acts as a buyer within the purchasing and procurement teams has been trained on the fundamentals of accrual-based costing, cost-based accounting, supplier management and supply chain planning, each is given a set of metrics
VIRTUAL TEAMS 4 Virtual Teams The use of virtual teams has grown more and more with each recent passing year. Even so, there has been some companies that have pushed back on the use of virtual employees in the name of maximizing output and productivity. There is a great amount of debate as to whether localized or remote teams are more feasible or workable. Regardless, there is a lot of theory behind
To violate or doubt the intentions of team members is to invite isolationism, and eventually the balkanization and break up of the group if it goes on too long (Sager, 2008). This is a delicate balance for any manager to keep, as they are expected to get significant results from their team weekly yet if a virtual team member is not producing the approaches to getting greater productivity vary
If a leader is accountable, honest and transparent, these values often get reflected throughout the teams they manage. Conversely if leaders of virtual teams are not as clear, fail to inform team members of critical dates and opportunities for communication or recognition, mistrust festers and can actually grow quickly over time. In a sense the best leaders of virtual teams strive for accountability, honesty and the opportunity to get
