Summary/Abstract:
This paper studies the types of management teams and identifies the
essential characteristics of organizational models applied in management
practice: work group – team – self-managed work team and virtual team.
The focus is put on virtual teams. The key prerequisites, regularities
and processes associated with the design and functioning of highly
effective virtual teams are analyzed. The indicators of team
effectiveness are specified and the factors influencing immediate
results are analyzed. The multilateral relationships in the integrative
models most cited in the last 20 years are explored not only at the
input, but in the process of interaction, as well as the ways to achieve
balance and good teamwork between team members. The aim is to find a
common theoretical and methodological basis that brings together the
fundamental models of virtual team effectiveness.
