Vice-Chairman
The R&D Society of Iranian Industries & Mines
Tehran - Iran
04/03 to 04/07
I and some of my colleagues become founding father of The R&D
Society of Iranian Industries & Mines (RDS) which has more than 1400
companies as members from different industrial sectors. RDS with its
members is the holder of around 20% of Iran’s GDP.
Major duties of the RDS are as follows:
1. Identification of the research capabilities and capacities of the
research and development units of the industrial centers and helping the
members to benefit from their research potential abilities
2. Coordination among research & development units in order to
compile executive approaches in order to choose suitable technology,
compilation and definition of the executive principles needed for
transfer of technology based on industrial requirements of the society,
cooperation, and seeking for improved approaches needed for attraction
and naturalization of the transferred technologies.
The society also aims at nurturing the R&D activities of its member
companies by offering state-of-the-art training services by organizing
industry-specific courses, industrial visits, and holding annual
conferences and workshops.
Member of the scientific and organizing committees of the conferences held by the society.

This paper presents the results of empirical research
conducted during March to September 2009. The study focused on the
influence of virtual research and development (R&D) teams within
Malaysian manufacturing small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). The
specific objective of the study is better understanding of the
application of collaborative technologies in business, to find the
effective factors to assist SMEs to remain competitive in the future.
The paper stresses to find an answer for a question “Is there any
relationship between company size, Internet connection facility and
virtuality?”. The survey data shows SMEs are now technologically capable
of performing the virtual collaborative team, but the infrastructure
usage is less. SMEs now have the necessary technology to begin the
implementation process of collaboration tools to reduce research and
development (R&D) time, costs and increase productivity. So, the
manager of R&D should take the potentials of virtual teams into
account.
The Relationships between Leadership Behaviors Team Learning and Performance among the Virtual Teams

Abstract
Teams are in the mid of a renaissance. Particularly in today’s
business environments, characterized by globalization, technological
progress and intense competition, the virtual teams—as the work groups
with members at different locations, using computer based communication
and sharing inputs and other individual efforts through technology—are
increasingly becoming prevalent. However there is still a gap in the
literature concerning the performance and success of virtual teams. In
this study, the interrelationships among leadership, team learning and
team performance is theoretically and empirically investigated within
the context of virtual teams. After a deep literature review a survey is
conducted on 101 teams. The data is analyzed via PLS 3.0 statistical
program. The path analyzes results show reveals the important role of
leadership on team learning for virtual teams. Moreover the findings
underline the vital role of team learning on team success and
performance for virtual teams just like for the traditional teams.
