“…Among this most recent IB literature, we single out Velez-Calle et al (2020), who explored the change we had with millennial GVTs, for whom cultural differences are not perceived as constraints as it was assumed in traditional IB literature. Among this most recent organizational management literature, we note Jarvenpaa and Keating (2021) on communication models, Gibson and Grushina (2021) on effectiveness, Richter et al (2021) on cultural intelligence and Stahl and Maznevski (2021) on cultural diversity. This last one, published in the Journal of International Business Studies 10 years after Stahl et al (2010), offers a retrospective of research and suggests an agenda for future research: it updates the reconciliation of conflicting past results through a theoretical framework describing how cultural diversity produces both losses and process gains in teams and specifying the contextual conditions under which diversity contributes to effective team outcomes (Stahl and Maznevski, 2021).…”

Purpose This study aims to offer a bibliometric analysis of the already substantial and growing literature on global virtual teams (GVTs). Design/methodology/approach Using a systematic literature review approach, it identifies all articles in the Web of Science from 1999 to 2021 that include the term GVTs (in the title, the abstract or keywords) and finds 175 articles. The VOSviewer software was applied to analyze the bibliometric data. Findings The analysis revealed three dialogizing research clusters in the GVTs literature: a pioneering management information systems and organizational cluster, a general management cluster and a growing international management and behavioural studies cluster. Furthermore, it highlights the most cited articles, authors, journals and nations, and the network of strong and weak links regarding co-authorships and co-citations. Additionally, this study shows a change in research patterns regarding topics, journals and disciplinary approaches from 1999 to 2021. Finally, the analysis illustrates the position and centrality in the network of the most relevant actors. Practical implications The findings can guide management practitioners, educators and researchers to the most meaningful clusters of publications on GVTs, and help navigate and make sense of the vast body of the available literature. The importance of GVTs has been growing in the past two decades, and Covid-19 has accelerated the trend. Originality/value This study provides an updated and comprehensive systematic literature review on GVTs. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, it is also the first systematic literature review and bibliometry on GVTs. It concludes by suggesting future research paths.

“…One of the factors that are challenging for virtual teams is social factors. there are social challenges, which include issues with poor team cohesion and interdependence, high independence, poor responses, a lack of feelings, a sense of isolation, a lack of audio-visual communication, lower trust, and reduced social interaction when using virtual teams in the workplace (Elyousfi et al, 2021;Kwaye, 2018;Eaidgah et al, 2018;Agbi, 2018;Soon and Salamzadeh, 2020;Gibson and Grushina, 2021;Ioannidis and Makridis, 2020). Other studies have identified five difficulties that virtual teams must overcome: a lack of face-to-face engagement, a lack of trust, a lack of social interaction, a higher concern for reliability, and a lack of physical touch (Soon and Salamzadeh, 2020).…”

Organizations and companies tend to employ virtual teams significantly. The problem of the study stems from the fact that there is a great contradiction between the increasing use of virtual teams in the field of business and their failure rate. Where the importance of virtual teams and their employment in the field of business is increasing greatly in recent years, especially with the great technological progress in information and communication technology and after the spread of Covid 19, and on the opposite side, previous studies indicate a large failure rate in virtual teams, which calls for more studies on the challenges that You experience the success of virtual teams. The importance of this study stems from filling the gap in previous studies that did not adequately cover this aspect. The current study concluded that there are three main groups of challenges facing virtual teams, which are diversity challenges (culture diversity, languages diversity, time zones diversity, and geographical diversity); technical challenges (first generation technologies, second generation technologies, and third generation technologies); and social challenges (conflict, communication, trust, and cohesion).

“…emails, podcasts, social media) to reach and engage the employees no matter their location. Gibson and Grushina (2021) proposed that strategies to augment effectiveness in global VTs include formalization of objectives and structure, establishing identity, reaching across cultural differences, conflict resolution, instituting technology repertoires and sustaining vitality. Krehl and Büttgen (2022) have revealed that managerial collaborative problem-solving practices, relational and empowering leadership, enhanced communication and building a culture of trust were effective practices in a crisis situation induced by the Covid-19 pandemic.…”

This study undertakes a review of the scientific literature on the role and impact of Intellectual Capital (IC) with all its components (human, structural and relational capital) on Virtual Team (VT) work. As already proven in the discipline research, IC as a summum of organizational knowledge resources plays a fundamental role in the knowledge economy in sustaining competitive advantage, innovation and performance. Despite an abundance of papers investigating VTs from both a theoretical and empirical perspective, a surprising discovery has been made during this research. The extent of work dedicated to analysing the relationships between IC and VTs is minimal, notwithstanding the unprecedented expansion of the use of VTs since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. Following a first review of the extant literature regarding IC and VTs, a second literature review has been conducted for the benefit of revealing crucial aspects and the newest best practices in what concerns work in VTs. In doing so, the authors attempt to draw attention to the need for in-depth researches in the IC field, to catch up with the business, economic and societal most recent developments. Furthermore, this study aims to provide the practitioners with up-to-date, concise knowledge on the practical aspects relevant for the work in VTs.
