Impact of Culture, Affiliation, and Shared Goals

Abstract

As we mentioned in Section 1, technology provides only a portion of the solution for addressing the challenges of virtual teams. Team and organizational cultures are key indicators of the potential success of virtual teams, while shared goals provide a way to unify the group. Team affiliation, as we will see, plays a lesser part in ensuring the success of virtual teams but is a reality of the complex organizational structures we see today and evolving in the future.
