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.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe best-selling first two editions of \u003ci\u003eMastering Virtual Teams \u003c\/i\u003eoffered 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.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHE CHAPTERS INCLUDE:  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHOW TO USE TECHNOLOGY AS “AN ADDITIONAL TEAM MEMBER” \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIMPACT OF CULTURE\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMYTHS AND REALITIES OF LEADING VIRTUAL TEAMS\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSIX MAJOR STEPS TO STARTING A VIRTUAL TEAM\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTEAM DYNAMICS\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBUILDING TRUST\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eVIRTUAL TEAM MEETINGS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe authors have also included tools from the book on www.booksupport.wiley.com that offers solutions to the unique challenges of working with a virtual team.
