Conflict, Culture, and Management - Antecedents of Performance in Virtual Teams
The use of virtual work teams in organizations is becoming common practice around the world. This change is predominantly the result of changes in the competitive situation, the innovation potential of information and communication technology (ICT), as well as changes in the values of the society.
