VIRTUAL TEAMS: WHAT EXTENT OF VIRTUALNESS IS SUSTAINABLE?

Original language description

Virtual work makes it possible for organizations to use the best knowledge with no regard paid to the geographical location of its bearer. In the paper we deal with the most relevant benefits of virtual teamwork including its positive impact on the environment on the one hand and with its limitations on the other hand. To avoid some of the problems connected with the virtual teamwork, face-to-face meetings would be helpful. Unfortunately, face-to-face contacts would spoil the advantages of virtual cooperation. An optimal extent of virtualness needs to be found. To increase both the extent of virtualness and the benefits of virtual work, we suggest applying of virtual teambuilding methods. We have developed such methods in the virtual world Second Lifeand some of them are presented in this paper.
