“…Literature on the matter shows that using virtual teams means more efficient work and this creates value for organizations. Other advantages include increased scope, improved response times and the dynamic adaptation of organizations to new situations [8], [20], [21]. Virtual teams also allow companies to make better use of their resources by hiring staff with the necessary experience, regardless of their geographic location.…”

Modern developments in technology have changed the way we socialize, communicate and work. Globalization, Information and Communication Technologies, digital culture and the increase in the amount of technology available for online communication mean that more organizations are implementing virtual teams. The growth in the use of virtual teams in organizations has incited researchers to investigate the different aspects, factors and challenges of these teams. This article uses a systematic literature review and a bibliometric analysis of virtual teams to identify the most relevant articles on the subject. These articles are then thoroughly reviewed and finally, a summary is made of all the research published over a five-year period. The systematic review of literature proposed by Ramey and Rao [1] and enhanced by Pulsiri and Thesenvitz [2] was used to examine the Scopus and Web of Science databases to identify the theories, research problems, research methodologies and results of 2354 studies on virtual teams published between 2015 and 2019. The main topics of the existing research in the field are reviewed, and the main limitations, problems and existing gaps in research are presented.

“…A noteworthy program described in Rutkowski, Vogel, van Genuchten, and Saunders (2008), in implementation for more than 10 years, involved business and engineering students from the Netherlands, Hong Kong, China, and the United States. Virtual teams build websites on software topics later compiled into a full-class final product.…”

Increasingly, international competence is considered an important skill to be acquired from an undergraduate education. Because international exchange presents a challenge to many students, there is a need to develop and implement alternative means for incorporating international and cross-cultural experiences into the undergraduate classroom. We report on the implementation of a semester-long, virtually shared course offering between a U.S. and a Bolivian university. As STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) majors tend to be under-represented in study-abroad programs, this class sought to provide a multidisciplinary experience that could be relevant to both hard and social science majors. Furthermore, the relevance and learning impact of this class was enhanced through the incorporation of a servicelearning component in conjunction with a rural Bolivian partner organization. The results of this experience show that virtually shared classroom experiences can successfully facilitate international experiences for undergraduate students.

“…Our aim from this paper is not to produce generalisable findings, given that we have considered a collaboration in a specific set of circumstances, but rather to add to the growing body of literature dealing with virtual international collaborations, (e.g. Abrahamse et al, 2015;Doerry et al, 2004;Gavidia et al, 2005;Rutkowski, Vogel, van Genuchten, & Saunders, 2008) with a specific focus on the use of this pedagogic technique in courses related to cross-cultural management and intercultural communication, thus joining the debate regarding the current state of cross-cultural management education. Based on this, we offer implications and guidance for practice which we hope may prove useful for others in the field.…”

a sheffield Business school, sheffield Hallam university, sheffield, uK; b international education consulting services, curitiba, Brazil ABSTRACT Business schools have the responsibility of preparing students for work in multicultural organisations and global markets. This paper examines a situated learning experience for undergraduates through a virtual collaboration between a UK university and a Brazilian university. This facilitated remote communication using social media and smart devices, allowing students from both institutions to enhance their cross-cultural management competencies. A qualitative approach was used for the research, drawing on the reflections of the tutors from both institutions and feedback received from students in the UK and Brazil. This paper provides empirical observations regarding the use of this innovative pedagogic approach, generating discussion of the implications for teaching, thus contributing to the literature on international collaborations in cross-cultural management education.
