Today business processes and technology projects are commonly executed by geographically dispersed virtual teams.  Team members may belong to different companies and different cultures and commonly do not speak English as their first language.  These differences present unique opportunities for management and leadership. This mini-track invites papers that offer insights into the successful operation of global virtual teams.  Session topics include but are not limited to:

Temporal separation and its effects on collaboration
Cultural differences in perception of time
Conflict resolution across cultures
Project management styles and differences across cultures
Differences in (English) language understanding and its effects on collaboration
Power distance and its effects on collaboration
Uncertainty (risk) avoidance and its effects on collaboration
Collaboration and communication tools
Differences between academic and non-academic virtual teams
Global virtual team case studies
