“…For example, several of the reviews originating from journals associated with the information technology field discuss the need for additional exploration on behavioral and organizational culture aspects of the GVT experience (e.g. Abarca et al , 2020; Gheni et al , 2016; Gillam and Oppenheim, 2006; Hacker et al , 2019; Muszyńska, 2021; Watanuki and Moraes, 2022), while other studies in the areas of management and industrial organizational psychology note that more research needs to be done toward greater understanding of the technical aspects of computer mediated technology within the GVT environment (e.g. Gilson et al , 2015; Martins and Schilpzand, 2011; Mesmer-Magnus et al , 2011).…”

“…For example, Ebrahim et al (2011), address the design of tools to best support collaboration, Kramer et al (2017), Mesmer-Magnus et al (2011) and Morrison-Smith and Ruiz (2020) discuss virtual media choices based on team characteristics. Other researchers address GVT processes and communication (Martins and Schilpzand, 2011) and a number of reviews note the importance of technology training (Gheni et al , 2016; Kirkman and Mathieu, 2005; Martins and Schilpzand, 2011).…”

PurposeThis study provides a meta-review of global virtual team (GVT)–related reviews, creating a resource that highlights dominant themes, research trends and shifts in topics over time culminating in a summary of opportunities for future research. By analyzing and grouping the evidence presented in previous research, this meta-review provides key insights toward future research and managerial implications.Design/methodology/approachThis meta-review identifies 35 existing GVT-related reviews across 32 publication outlets, providing a longitudinal and cross-disciplinary view of GVT research to date.FindingsResults of the analysis reveal over time that there has been a largely adopted reconceptualization of the GVT paradigm toward a continuum of virtuality. There has been a shift in the view of the cross-cultural and global components of GVTs toward a recognition that a greater variance of dimensionality exists. Additionally, popular themes across the literature emerge, notably, virtuality, concepts of culture, trust, leadership and communication technology.Originality/valueAs a multidisciplinary GVT-focused meta-review, this study complements previous efforts by taking a tour across this wide topic and is dedicated to those who are researching, teaching, working and managing GVT-related strategies. The reviews selected represent work published across multiple literature streams, providing a comprehensive and forward thinking perspective.

In the ever-evolving software industry, startups are catalysts of innovation, propelling transformative changes. Effective software development is pivotal for their success. The aim of the review is to reveal the successive factors, challenges, and strategies underlying software development in startups. We conducted a systematic literature review by developing a classification schema, ranking the selected studies, and analyzing the factors, challenges, and strategies to enhance software development for startups. Only a few studies are dedicated to software development factors; from the primary studies on software startups, successive factors, strategies, and challenges are extracted, categorized, and analyzed. The purpose of the review is to reveal the process of software project management and underline the key factors like Agile, Lean, customer centricity, and design thinking concepts in the software industry, information technology maturity models, and corporate culture. In order for startups to succeed in the shifting world of software development, it is advised that they find ways to overcome difficulties, find success factors, investigate opportunities, and be adaptable to new ideas. This study provides evidence that the ability of a software startup to embrace innovation, adaptability, and technology is vital for long-term growth and sustainability. This comprehensive approach empowers startups to reach excellence in the energetic software industry landscape.

Global Software Development (GSD) offers several benefits to software development organizations, including reduced development costs, the availability of low-wage and highly skilled employees, and an improved marketplace. Meanwhile, it faces severe communication, coordination, and control issues. The most important of these is the communication issue which is further categorized into socio-cultural, temporal, and geographical issues. Among these issues, researchers believe the socio-cultural issue is the most critical factor and, if not mitigated properly, may lead to software project failure. Although, in the past, many studies have identified socio-cultural distance-related issues, and a few studies proposed mitigation strategies. However, studies have yet to be carried out to prioritize and empirically evaluate all mitigation strategies. Thus the main objectives of this study are: a) to identify socio-cultural distance issues and mitigation strategies through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), b) to empirically evaluate the impact of identified mitigation strategies on identified socio-cultural distance issues through a survey, and c) to prioritize effective mitigation strategies through a recommended Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). A total of six socio-cultural issues and twenty-eight mitigation strategies are identified from the SLR and survey. Out of which, seven mitigation strategies are most effective. This study's findings will help software organizations to overcome socio-cultural distance issues by using the highest priority mitigation strategies to reduce losses.
