Summary Provides a detailed, comprehensible virtual team business model for managers, professionals, teachers or students involved globally with such initiatives. The author has taught courses online and facilitated virtual teams. The model she has created based on that experience maximises the benefit to be gained from individual members' skills, personality styles, and the strengths of each active participant. It will enable teams to set up viable working plans and work cohesively at a distance. The model also provides for conflict management in virtual environments. Built on research and practical experience, the empirical data and subject experts' views captured by the author and the model offered here will help all stakeholders of businesses or educational institutions where managers, employees and clients; or teachers and students are working at a distance to achieve desired outcomes. -- Edited summary from book
