It is been more than 20 years since organizations started relying on virtual teams which are
geograph-ically separated. Previous research has outlined several dimensions of the
separation; however the consequences of different dimensions of separation and their
impact was still unclear due to the chal-lenges of conducting empirical research. In this
study, we employ simulation approach and systemati-cally assess the performance of virtual
information systems development (ISD) teams under different spatial and temporal settings …

It has been over than 20 years since organizations started relying on virtual teams, which
are groups of geographically separated workers collaborating through IT-enabled
communication channels. Virtual teams differ from colocated teams in the way they
communicate, and this difference is one of the main reasons why virtual teams still
experience the negative effects of geographical separation. Prior research has outlined
several dimensions of the separation, ie, spatial and temporal separation; however the …
