Abstract

Globalisation of media industries in regards to sourcing and casting of artists, content, locations for filming, image, video and audio treatment has brought geo-graphically and culturally diverse teams together in projects ranging from video games and ads to major studio live-action and animated features. This new concept of teams however presents several issues as well as advantages and new opportunities. This chapter aims to present a holistic view on the issues present in e-collaboration. We introduce the field of e-collaboration and virtual teams. We propose a new categorization of e-collaboration tools. Further we examine the issues regarding culture, trust, human-computer interaction, social systems and management associated with e-collaboration and virtual teams. The perspective of knowledge management is discussed in the final section. In order to achieve optimal results from e-collaboration, companies should acknowledge and address the discussed issues in addition to organizational and technical issues.
