The authors provide an excellent treatment of the problems associated with starting and maintaining virtual teams. An excellent concise presentation of working with differences in culture is presented. Many technology alternatives to facilitate group interaction and collaboration are also presented. The strengths and weaknesses of each technology are given for several different problem solving situations. I would recommend this book to anyone who must solve problems with others who are off site.
(From quoting J. Babcock, USA)

Virtual teams can communicate from great distances or be part of a group that works in the same building. No matter where they are, today's virtual teams are complex entities that rely on technology to make up for the lack of face-to-face meetings. Managers are under pressure to assemble the best talent they can find from wherever they can find it. But once these teams are in place, managers must also find ways to help the team—who are often from widely different backgrounds—work smoothly together. Using the principles in this book, virtual teams can be as tight-knit and effective as on-location teams.
The best-selling first two editions of Mastering Virtual Teams offered a succinct guide for managers who must help people from different parts of the company, different countries, and different cultures work together efficiently and effectively. In this newly revised and expanded third edition, the authors—both respected global management experts—have updated the contents to reflect the most current analysis and reflect today's changing business environment. ¿
In this comprehensive book, the authors tackle the challenges of today's virtual team head-on.
The chapters include:
Critical success factors
How to use technology as "an additional team member"
Impact of culture
Myths and realities of leading virtual teams
Six major steps to starting a virtual team
Team dynamics
Building trust
Virtual team meetings
The authors have also included tools from the book on a CD-ROM that offers solutions to the unique challenges of working with a virtual team. Full of exercises, checklists, and competency assessments, the CD-ROM's toolkit can be customized or simply printed as-is for team use.
