This course will introduce contemporary theories, concepts, and applications of virtual teamwork. Examination of issues that determine virtual team effectiveness, including appropriate team design and leadership are stressed. In addition, the class will explicitly explore the differences in virtual and collocated team development, and use emerging theories (e.g., team identity theory, network theory) and perspectives (e.g., online community development) to predict and explain virtual team behavior and leadership needs.
