ABSTRACT
The interactions of virtual team members will rely on electronic communications media such as e-mail, audio and video conferencing and web-based tools. Virtual team members do not necessarily originate from a single organization. Project teams come together for a finite period of time in response to a project brief, not necessarily originating from any member of the team. Service teams often exist as a resource on call— maybe across a number of locations or countries—for the resolution of problems and for advice. Process teams will collaborate over an undefined period to respond to ongoing needs within a certain domain. There are many ways of providing flexible working conditions— for instance, hot desking or teleworking. Satellite offices are created to accommodate employees who are unable to work from home or from the main office location. Far less formal and organized than the virtual workers who remotely log on to the company's network and perform their daily routines are web groups.
