Virtual Teams - Management Issues


Team effectiveness has been viewed as having three dimensions: Productivity, viability and member development. Productivity is related to the satisfaction of the customer. Viability is related to the interest among team members to continue the relationship. Member development is the development of the individual member and his satisfaction with his personal needs and well being as a member of the group.

Team design, team work process and team states are interesting items to study as a part of examining management of virtual teams.
