Traditional face-to-face communication is frequently replaced with technology- mediated communication methods including phone, e-mail, fax, synchronous chat programs, and videoconferencing. While virtual teams offer various advantages to organizations and individuals in flexibility and the ability to overcome geographic distance, they face unique challenges. Virtual teams often are made up of members of various cultures and ages with diverse communication styles. Men and women also tend to behave differently in virtual environments. Challenges occur in the forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning phases of team development, and virtual teams must be able to cope effectively with those obstacles if they are to be successful and reach their potential. Team participants should be selected carefully for various personal characteristics that help ensure success and be trained in how to be effective virtual team members. Various team strategies can be implemented to improve effectiveness and satisfaction of virtual team members. 410 0$aCorporate communication collection.$x2156-8170 606 $aVirtual work teams$xManagement 610 $adistributed companies 610 $ateam development 610 $ateam strategies 610 $atechnology-mediated communication 610 $avirtual teams 615 0$aVirtual work teams$xManagement. 676 $a658.4022 700 $aDuFrene$b Deborah Daniel$f1954-,$01576857 702 $aLehman$b Carol M. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798175003321 996 $aManaging virtual teams$93854979 997 $aUNINA
