Performance Evaluation for Global Virtual Teams (GVTs): Application of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)

M. Reza Hosseini, Nicholas Chileshe, Parviz Ghoddousi, Gholam Reza Jahanshahloo, Ali Katebi, Mohsen Saeedi

Abstract

This paper builds all the discussions on an exhaustive literature review through critically investigating different
aspects of managing GVTs concerning imposing control on virtual teams and measuring their performance. The
foregoing features of managing GVTs have been regarded as problematic due to the idiosyncrasies of virtual
team working. Besides, there are disagreementsin the literature regarding the necessity of implementing control
and auditing for GVTs’ context. To address the mentioned challenges, the crucial role of control and evaluating
the performance of GVTs will be established based on the evidences from the litearture. Afterwards, the key
requirements of performance evaluation for GVTs will be ascertained. Subsequently, the paper will briefly
introduce Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) as an available method for comparing and evaluating the
performances of GVTs. The study will conclude by presenting guidelines to facilitate harnessing the abilities of
DEA to measure the performance of GVTs and presenting directions for future studies in the area.

Abstract:     

Literature proves the importance of the process role in the effectiveness of virtual research and development (R&D) teams for new product development (NPD). However, the factors that make process construct in a virtual R&D team are still unclear. The manager of virtual R&D teams for NPD does not know which items of process should be used. To address the gap and answer the question, the study presents a set of factors that make a process construct. The proposed construct modified by finding of the field survey. We empirically examine the relationship between construct, dimensions and its factors by employing the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). A measurement model built base on the 13 preliminary factors that extracted from literature review. The result shows 9 factors out of 13 factors maintaining to make process construct. These factors can be grouped into two dimensions namely generating report and collaborative system. The findings can help new product development managers of enterprises to concentrate in the main factors for leading an effective virtual R&D team. In addition, it provides a guideline for future research.

Description

literature proves the importance of the process role in the effectiveness of virtual research and development (R&D) teams for new product development (NPD). However, the factors that make process construct in a virtual R&D team are still unclear. The manager of virtual R&D teams for NPD does not know which items of process should be used. To address the gap and answer the question, the study presents a set of factors that make a process construct. The proposed construct modified by finding of the field survey. We empirically examine the relationship between construct, dimensions and its factors by employing the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). A measurement model built base on the 13 preliminary factors that extracted from literature review. The result shows 9 factors out of 13 factors maintaining to make process construct. These factors can be grouped into two dimensions namely generating report and collaborative system. The findings can help new product development managers of enterprises to concentrate in the main factors for leading an effective virtual R&D team.
