E-Teams
• An e-team is a group of individuals who work
across space and organizational boundaries with
links strengthened by webs of communication
technology. Members have complementary skills
and are committed to a common purpose, have
interdependent performance goals, and share an
approach to work for which they hold themselves
mutually accountable.
• Geographically dispersed teams allow organizations
to hire and retain the best people regardless of
location. An e-team does not always imply
telecommuters, individuals who work from home.
Many virtual teams in today’s organizations consist
of employees both working at home and in small
groups in the office, but in different geographic
locations.
