Description
The Internet, intranets, and groupware are making it theoretically possible for virtual teams to work together from all over the globe but in reality such teams frequently fail. Lipnack and Stamps, longtime consultants on the networked organization, describe how managers can start, manage, and maintain virtual teams that work. They list seven steps that teams must complete to get results and include case studies from companies such as Sun Microsystems, Shell Oil, Pfizer, and Motorola. Annotation c.
