This book examines cultural influences on global virtual team decision making as teams collaborate through email, and whether different cultural orientations foster different communication styles and impact decision-making processes. It addresses the prevalence of the virtual workplace in contemporary organizations, the definition of a global virtual team, and its characteristics and elements; the concept of culture, with discussion of the theories of Edward Hall, Fons Trompenaars, and Charles Hampden-Turner; the decision-making process, including a model that integrates John Kingdon and Nancy Adler's decision-making models for the environment of global virtual teams; specific cultural elements like individualism vs. communitarianism, task-oriented vs. relationship-oriented, and intercultural communication styles; and implications for corporations in managing teams and leadership.

Global virtual teams (GVTs) have evolved as a common work structure in multinational corporations due to their efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The cultural differences can produce great benefits in terms of perspective, creativity, and innovation, but can also exacerbate interpersonal tensions, miscommunications, and clashing decision-making behaviors. This book outlines cultural competencies specific to GVTs and sheds light on management strategies for creating an optimal inter-cultural GVT environment. It covers theory, decision making strategies, and activities for cultural competence and problem resolution, all told through vignettes and lessons-learned.
