In most of the organizations, the collaboration across time, culture, and geographical boundaries has become one of the common practice and has given rise to the concept of globally teams known as virtual teams. Virtual teams use technologies to communicate with each other such as email, video conference, and text messages. Based on a review of the literature on virtual teams' management, this paper identifies the main challenges of the management such as communication technologies, cultural diversity, E-ethics, and trust. This paper aims to highlight these challenges, assess and analyze published contemporary literature addressing these challenges to improve the virtual teams' management by E-leaders.

The internet has been a source of medical information, it has been used for online medical consultation (OMC). OMC is now offered by many providers internationally with diverse models and features. In OMC, consultations and treatments are available 24/7. The covid-19 pandemic across-the-board, many people unable to go to hospital or clinic because the spread of the virus. This paper tried to answer two research questions. The first one on how the OMC can help the patients during covid-19 pandemic. A literature review was conducted to answer the first research question. The second one on how to develop system in OMC related to covid-19 pandemic. The system was developed by Visual Studio 2019 using software object-oriented approach. Online expert review was conducted within 6 experts from health and academic industry to verify the model. Also, the system was validated by 11 users from heath and academic industry to confirm its usability. The statistical package for social science (SPSS 22) was used to analyze the collected data. The result of expert review confirmed that covid-19 system can help the patients. Also, the validity of the system was confirmed by 11 users from health and academic industry.

Global virtual teams (GVTs) are a recent organizational adaptation created to meet the needs of globalizatized marketplace. GVTs are essentially teams that are distributed across national boundaries and concerned through advanced information and communication technology (ICT) such as email, instant messaging, and video conferencing. The research on GVTs is important in the information system (IS) field because GVTs are dependent on information communication technology and the use of other technologies; GVTs also consists of people from different cultures. This paper tried to answer two research questions. The first one is: what are the GVTs problems facing the project manager (PM). A literature review was conducted to answer the first research question. The second one is: how to develop system as a guide for PM. The system was developed by Visual Studio 2019. Online model verification was conducted within 6 experts from IT industry. After developing the system, it was validated by eleven developers (non-functional test/black-box testing) and 3 developers/programmers (functional test/white-box testing) from the same industry. The result of model verification confirmed that the model can help the PM. Also, the non-functional test/black-box testing and functional test/white-box testing was confirmed.

Virtual teams are established to during software development environment. Virtual team members are gradually engaged in globalized business environments across space, time and organizational boundaries with links ensured by information and communication technologies. A virtual team relies on communication, collaboration, and information exchange is the most important criteria in virtual teams operations and their efficiency directly influences team performance. The aim of this paper is to identify the factors of selecting and using of technologies within virtual teams communication to improve virtual team communication to enhance the virtual team performance. This researcher uses systematic literature review by Kitchenham to review existing literature on the issues and implementation of virtual team members. In this review 22 papers were analyzed to answer the research questions.
