Definition

  • A virtual team is a group of individuals who work toward a common purpose and whose interaction is mediated by information and communication technology. Virtual teams allow organizations to bring together the work of people in different functions, different geographical locations, and even different organizations by overcoming the limitations resulting from the temporal and spatial copresence required by face-to-face teams.
