Lipnack & Stamps (1999) conducted a study in which they examined the emergence of virtual teams as a new modality for working. The study was carried out on the premise that the emergence of the Information Age has contributed to the advent of a working culture where people must no longer be in the same location in order to work together. The Information Age is characterized by the development and increased use of interactive technologies, which have contributed to the emergence of virtual teams. Through the interactive technologies, the virtual teams provide a framework through which people work across organizations, time, space, and boundaries. The study focused on examining and determining the factors that contribute to the effectiveness and success of virtual teams as new models for working in the 21st Century organizations and business environment.
Earnhardt (2009) conducted a study to determine the key factors that contribute to the success and failure of virtual teams. The researcher found that the key enabling factors in success of these new models of working are clarification of objectives, technology, and team formation. Clarifying objectives relates to determine the purpose of the team and communicating it to team members. This helps in ensuring that every team member engages in activities that enhance the achievement of the desired objectives. Earnhardt (2009) seemingly concurs with Lipnack & Stamps (1999) on the premise that purpose is a crucial factor towards ensuring the success of virtual teams because it's the glue that holds people together. Technology involves the use of appropriate technological strategies and tools towards accomplishing the various activities and tasks. This finding concurs with Lipnack & Stamps (1999) on the premise that appropriate communication technologies are crucial for establishing connections within the team. Team formulation is an important factor…

Preparations to be effective as a manager would require management education that provides knowledge regarding management principles and functions. In light of the increased globalization in today's society, the most
Cultures in the Workplace Kouzes and Posner (2012) state that leaders ensure individuals know they are taken into consideration and not being ignored (p.318). There are several different means of enhancing this kind of celebratory culture given the varying best practices regarding how leaders need to demonstrate awareness of the needs of followers. One of the major ways of paying attention to follower needs and showing that followers are not
“No man is an island.” “There is no I in team.” Organizations have long been aware of the fact that the synergies generated by a team can result in great things being accomplished, greater than the individuals could hope to embark upon alone. The existence of online technology has enabled organizations to cobble together new teams in ways that could never have been dreamt of in the past, as individuals
collaboration technology can assist virtual teams in today's business world. As Andriessen (2012) shows, there are positive and negative effects to using collaboration technology -- what needs to be better described is how these effects are produced and why. Because of the still relative newness of virtual teams and collaborative technology (Gilson, Maynard, Young, 2015), it is essential to organizational success in the Digital Age that these concepts be understood
International Management: Managing Global Virtual Teams The global fiber optic network and the internet have played a key role in the development of long-distance communication, which has facilitated work interactions among people from all over the world. It offers global platforms through which people can, at the touch of a button, share work and knowledge, compete, play and collaborate with colleagues across national borders. The creation of virtual teams is one
