 Abstract
The number of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), especially those involved with research and development (R&D) programs and employed virtual teams to create the greatest competitive advantage from limited labor are increasing. Global and localized virtual R&D teams are believed to have high potential for the growth of SMEs. Due to the fast-growing complexity of new products coupled with new emerging opportunities of virtual teams, a collaborative approach is believed to be the future trend. This research explores the effectiveness of virtuality in SMEs' virtual R&D teams. Online questionnaires were emailed to Malaysian manufacturing SMEs and 74 usable questionnaires were received, representing a 20.8 percent return rate. In order to avoid biases which may result from pre-suggested answers, a series of open-ended questions were retrieved from the experts. This study was focused on analyzing an open-ended question, whereby four main themes were extracted from the experts' recommendations regarding the effectiveness of virtual teams for the growth and performance of SMEs. The findings of this study would be useful to product design managers of SMEs in order to realize the key advantages and significance of virtual R&D teams during the new product development (NPD) process. This is turn, leads to increased effectiveness in new product development's procedure.

Las empresas pequeñas y medianas (pymes) son el motor del crecimiento económico. Mientras las pymes desempeñan un rol crítico en generar empleo y sostener el comercio, enfrentan diversos desafíos, los más destacados entre ellos, la necesidad de responder a la aceleración del time-to-market, bajar el costo y soluciones rápidas para problemas organizacionales complejos. Con este fin, el aspecto investigación y desarrollo (I & D) merece atención especial para promover y facilitar las operaciones de pymes. Un equipo de investigación virtual pueden ser una opción viable. No obstante, la literatura muestra que la formación de equipos virtuales en las pymes está en su infancia. Este artículo provee una amplia revisión de la literatura sobre diferentes aspectos de los equipos virtuales extraídas de reputadas publicaciones. El propósito de esta revisión del estado de las artes es proveer de un panorama de la estructura y la dinámica de la colaboración en I & D en Pymes. Especificando los fundamentos y la importancia de los equipos virtuales, se ha examinado la relación entre estos y las pymes. Se concluye con la identificación de las áreas no cubiertas por la literatura existente y que requieren futura investigación. Se argumenta que establecer una estructura para equipos virtuales de I & D en pequeñas empresas todavía requiere una gran cantidad de esfuerzos de ingeniería y atención de la alta gerencia.

Abstract:     
h-index retrieved by citation indexes (Scopus, Google scholar, and Web of Science) is used to measure the scientific performance and the research impact studies based on the number of publications and citations of a scientist. It also is easily available and may be used for performance measures of scientists, and for recruitment decisions. The aim of this study is to investigate the difference between the outputs and results from these three citation databases namely Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science based upon the h-index of a group of highly cited researchers (Nobel Prize winner scientist). The purposive sampling method was adopted to collect the required data. The results showed that there is a significant difference in the h-index between three citation indexes of Scopus, Google scholar, and Web of Science; the Google scholar h-index was more than the h-index in two other databases. It was also concluded that there is a significant positive relationship between h-indices based on Google scholar and Scopus. The citation indexes of Scopus, Google scholar, and Web of Science may be useful for evaluating h-index of scientists but they have some limitations as well.

A Comparison between Two Main Academic Literature Collections: Web of Science and Scopus Databases :
« Nowadays, the worlds scientific community has been publishing an enormous number of papers in different scientific fields. In such environment, it is essential to know which databases are equally efficient and objective for literature searches. It seems that two most extensive databases are Web of Science and Scopus. Besides searching the literature, these two databases used to rank journals in terms of their productivity and the total citations received to indicate the journals impact, prestige or influence. This article attempts to provide a comprehensive comparison of these databases to answer frequent questions which researchers ask, such as: How Web of Science and Scopus are different? In which aspects these two databases are similar? Or, if the researchers are forced to choose one of them, which one should they prefer? For answering these questions, these two databases will be compared based on their qualitative and quantitative characteristics. »

Abstract

Advances in electronic communication tools have enabled collaborative engineering work to be conducted in virtual project networks that utilize “digital boundary objects” to exchange complex design knowledge. However, little is known about whether and how digital boundary objects facilitate negotiations in virtual settings that feature real-time communication. This article addresses this gap by exploring the role of digital boundary objects in negotiating complex design knowledge in a three-dimensional (3-D) virtual workspace. The authors found that digital boundary objects facilitate negotiations through a three-stage process of structuring negotiation space, structuring knowledge in the structured negotiation space, and framing combinations of structured knowledge.

Reducing Faultlines in Geographically Dispersed Teams: Self-Disclosure and Task Elaboration

Abstract

Faultlines have the potential to significantly disrupt team performance due to the creation of intergroup bias. In geographically dispersed teams, given the combination of dispersed locations and other diversity characteristics, faultlines are potentially a major issue that needs to be more fully understood. This study examines the impact of faultlines on geographically dispersed teams and how problems caused by faultlines can be resolved. An experimental study of 40, four-person student teams finds that perceived faultlines heighten conflict and impair decision process quality. The findings also suggest that self-disclosure via weblogs and task elaboration can repair damage caused by faultlines. However, self-disclosure does not have a direct effect on reducing faultlines; the relationship is moderated by social attraction. That is, as team members disclose personal information to out-group members and out-group members are attracted to such disclosure, perceived faultlines are diminished. This study also finds that even in teams with strong perceived faultlines, team members are still able to exchange and integrate perspectives if they have a better understanding of their out-group members via self-disclosure. The negative consequence of faultlines therefore is eased when task elaboration occurs during task execution. Implications of these coping mechanisms for teams with faultlines in organizations are discussed.

Abstract:     
h-index retrieved by citation indexes (Scopus, Google scholar, and Web of Science) is used to measure the scientific performance and the research impact studies based on the number of publications and citations of a scientist. It also is easily available and may be used for performance measures of scientists, and for recruitment decisions. The aim of this study is to investigate the difference between the outputs and results from these three citation databases namely Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science based upon the h-index of a group of highly cited researchers (Nobel Prize winner scientist). The purposive sampling method was adopted to collect the required data. The results showed that there is a significant difference in the h-index between three citation indexes of Scopus, Google scholar, and Web of Science; the Google scholar h-index was more than the h-index in two other databases. It was also concluded that there is a significant positive relationship between h-indices based on Google scholar and Scopus. The citation indexes of Scopus, Google scholar, and Web of Science may be useful for evaluating h-index of scientists but they have some limitations as well.

Abstract:

This dissertation covers research into the principles and processes associated with the management of geographically dispersed project teams in the railway industry of South Africa; and aims to highlight possible problem areas as well as techniques in order to assist with effective virtual project management. The paper details several key areas in virtual team management and railway signalling, that are spread over various chapters. An introduction to the railway industry is presented in Chapter 1 to provide the background on which this research is based. Thereafter the problem statement and research objectives are outlined, with particular attention paid to the organisation on which this study is aligned: Transnet Freight Rail, a division of Transnet Ltd. The concept of teams and its importance in project management (using both classic and virtual teams) is a topic widely explored in the academic world. A literature review is necessary to identify areas which need further expansion. The topic of virtual projects in the S.A. railway industry is one such example. Virtual teams do not benefit from working together in a lab or boardroom, hence the need for an alternative form of management. Teamwork cannot be successful unless there is trust, and this is more evident in a virtual team whereby trust is harder to form and easier to break. Chapter 2 elaborates on various methods to build trust and how not to break it.Various methods of research exist and are generally divided into two categories: Qualitative and Quantitative. A review is required in order to accurately select the applicable form of research. This resulted in the decision to utilise both qualitative and quantitative research, via case studies, surveys and casual-comparisons. This topic is further expanded on in chapter 3. Chapters 4, 5 and 6 present all results obtained during the course of this research. The case study in Chapter 4 aims to analyse the detailed processes used in the management of a railway signalling project with a widely dispersed project team. Chapter 5 introduces the research survey performed by various signalling project and engineering managers in the organisation.
