Virtual Teams – An Overview

• Virtual – (opposed to physical) – non – non physical teams forming and dissolving from other physical enterprises each with different processes, systems and cultures with the need to build trust, common aims and working practices very quickly. Like ant colonies coming together for food.

• Virtual – (as not geographically in the same place) with the use of

virtual team technologies and techniques to address this. • Virtual Capacity – In the sense of virtual memory where a

computer operates as if it has more capacity than it actually has, allowing enterprises to incorporate external skills and resources to address common issues problems and opportunities.
