'This comprehensive volume provides excellent coverage of the
scholarly landscape for virtual teaming. Ivanaj and Bozon have
integrated a variety of research streams and practical techniques
that should prove to be very useful for anyone studying or working
in virtual teams. The chapter on leadership and conflict management
is an especially thoughtful and welcome addition to the literature,
given we know less about these arenas, and yet they tend to be
critical roadblocks for many teams. I commend the authors on
developing an excellent resource!' - Cristina Gibson, University of
Western Australia The book Managing Virtual Teams explores the
critical elements that must be considered in managing virtual teams
in organizations from structural, managerial, and process
points-of-view. Based in solid research, the book provides a deep
look at the nature of virtual teams and the factors that enable
their success. Using a text-analysis method, the book consolidates
results from both academic and practitioners' sources about virtual
team inputs, processes, and outcomes. It lays out in clear detail
the key characteristics of virtual teams and traces their emergence
within organizations and research literature. Managing Virtual
Teams addresses the particular practices of virtual teams, not only
technological-focused but also socio-emotional, including the
managerial attitudes required in virtual environments seeking
well-performing teams. Incorporating case studies and research
results, this book demonstrates how academic research can be used
to successfully manage businesses in a virtual context. This book
is a valuable contribution with clear guidelines for managerial
practice, both for researchers interested in learning about virtual
teams and to managers and organizations dealing with the challenges
of managing them. Students will also benefit from this book as they
learn how to become effective and operational virtual team members,
and in future, successful managers.
