Working at a Distance
Organizations are implementing virtual teams using web technologies as a cost-effective measure for training and project development. In Working at a Distance, Dr. Cassandra Smith provides a detailed, comprehensible virtual team business model for managers, professionals, teachers or students involved globally with such initiatives. The author argues that guidance for members of such teams is generally lacking. They are left to figure out their places on the team and face a host of other issues, the impact of which can be ameliorated with a virtual team business model that anyone working from a distance can follow.
