Abstract:
    

The literature related to virtual R&D teams
reveals a lack of depth in the definitions (Ale Ebrahim et al., 2010).
Although virtual teamwork is a current topic in the literature
concerning global organizations, it is problematic to define the meaning
of 'virtual teams' across multiple institutional contexts (Chudoba et
al., 2005). The concept of a "team" is described as a small number of
people with complementary skills who are equally committed to a common
purpose, goal, and working approach for which they hold themselves
mutually accountable (Zenun et al., 2007). It is worth mentioning that
virtual teams (VTs) are often formed to overcome geographical or
temporal separations (Cascio and Shurygailo, 2003). VTs work across
boundaries of time and space using modern computer-driven technologies
(Ebrahim et al., 2010). The term "VTs" is used to cover a wide range of
activities and forms of technology-supported working (Anderson et al.,
2007).

Abstract

Despite
the vital role of paper publication and citation in higher education
institutions (HEIs), literature on publication exercises is relatively
scarce. There are a number of factors which influence the rate of
university publications and citations. Accordingly, with a focus on
policy perspectives, this paper discusses publication exercises by
addressing the factors that can increase or decrease the rate of
publication and citation in HEIs. The investigated zones are divided
into two macro and micro levels, in which macro level deals with global
policy and micro level is related to local and university policies. The
effective factors and their relevant criteria are traced in all the
aforementioned policies.

Abstract

Project work in
today’s organisations primarily takes place through the engagement of
knowledge-based communities of practice as well as the use of embedded
communication technologies, such as web-based social media. This has
been highlighted as one of the ways in which health innovation research
knowledge can be managed and transferred (Towards knowledge management
based on harnessing collective intelligence on the web, Berlin, 350–357,
2006; Collective intelligence in healthcare, http://​www.​oakleigh.​co.​uk/​page/​1428/​White-Papers/​Whitepaper-Articles/​Collective-Intelligence-in-Healthcare,
2013). Organisations are witnessing a re-shaping of their processes in
terms of diminished face-to-face interactions. This chapter reviews ways
in which the use of communication technologies, social media and
virtual teams assist project-based work in the transfer of health
innovation knowledge. The focus is on experiential learning from
collaboration from the European COST Project IS 0907.

Abstract:
    

In the competitive market, virtual teams represent a
growing response to the need for fasting time-to-market, low-cost and
rapid solutions to complex organizational problems. Virtual teams enable
organizations to pool the talents and expertise of employees and
non-employees by eliminating time and space barriers. Nowadays,
companies are heavily investing in virtual team to enhance their
performance and competitiveness. Despite virtual teams growing
prevalence, relatively little is known about this new form of team.
Hence the study offers an extensive literature review with definitions
of virtual teams and a structured analysis of the present body of
knowledge of virtual teams. First, we distinguish virtual teams from
conventional teams, different types of virtual teams to identify where
current knowledge applies. Second, we distinguish what is needed for
effective virtual team considering the people, process and technology
point of view and underlying characteristics of virtual teams and
challenges they entail. Finally, we have identified and extended 12 key
factors that need to be considered, and describes a methodology focused
on supporting virtual team working, with a new approach that has not
been specifically addressed in the existing literature and some guide
line for future research extracted.
