Abstract
This article describes a study to analyse the actual processes involved when virtual teams (VTs) undertake specific group tasks. Six VTs were established and communication was monitored through a discussion board. The content was coded using the TEMPO system developed by Futoran et al. (1989), and the communication pattern of each virtual team was analysed. A number of inferences can be drawn which will assist in future performance management.
