Communication across Spatially Dispersed Teams
Ashish Mohanty
Abstract :
Communication is fundamental to any form of organising but is paramount in virtual organizations. Virtual
organizations are characterised by highly dynamic processes, contractual relationships among entities and
edgeless boundaries. Compared to traditional organisational settings, communication processes that occur in virtual
organisations are expected to be rapid, customised, temporary,
greater in volume and more formal. Typically, these organisations rely
on computer mediated communication for communication because teams
working on joint projects are
greater in volume and more formal. Typically, these organisations rely
on computer mediated communication for communication because teams
working on joint projects are
spatially dispersed and have to communicate across space and time zones. Spatially dispersed teams, therefore, must
overcome a number of barriers, such as geographical distances,
trust issues, differing communication styles, and technology challenges.
This research paper explores the inherent challenges in managing and
communicating with members of a virtual team or workgroup, and reviews
current literature to provide an overview of effective methods and
trust issues, differing communication styles, and technology challenges.

communicating with members of a virtual team or workgroup, and reviews
current literature to provide an overview of effective methods and
practices for organisations seeking to improve the communication and effectiveness of such teams.
