Communication across Spatially Dispersed Teams
Ashish Mohanty
Abstract :
Communication is fundamental to any form of organising but is paramount in virtual organizations. Virtual organizations are characterised by highly dynamic processes, contractual relationships among entities and edgeless boundaries. Compared to traditional organisational settings, communication processes that occur in virtual organisations are expected to be rapid, customised, temporary, greater in volume and more formal. Typically, these organisations rely on computer mediated communication for communication because teams working on joint projects are spatially dispersed and have to communicate across space and time zones. Spatially dispersed teams, therefore, must overcome a number of barriers, such as geographical distances, trust issues, differing communication styles, and technology challenges. This research paper explores the inherent challenges in managing and communicating with members of a virtual team or workgroup, and reviews current literature to provide an overview of effective methods and practices for organisations seeking to improve the communication and effectiveness of such teams.
