Zusammenfassung

Durch die zunehmende globale Vernetzung der Wirtschaft und Entwicklungen elektronischer Kommunikations- und Kooperationsmedien werden Mitarbeitende zunehmend in internationalen virtuellen Teams eingesetzt. Multinationale Unternehmen können so weltweit auf ihr gesamtes Know How zugreifen und die geeignetsten Mitarbeitenden dort einsetzen, wo ihre Fähigkeiten am besten genutzt werden können. Durch die Nutzung komplementärer Zeitzonen spart dies Zeit und Kosten ein und kommt dem Wunsch nach einer ortsunabhängigen Arbeitsplatzgestaltung entgegen. Trotz der vielen Vorteile, die virtuelle Teams mit sich bringen, ist die internationale virtuelle Zusammenarbeit auch mit Herausforderungen verbunden, die zu verzögerter Bearbeitungsdauer, Unzufriedenheit der Teammitglieder oder gar dem Scheitern von Projekten führen können. In diesem Beitrag wird der aktuelle Stand der Forschung aufgezeigt, wobei insbesondere der multidimensionale Charakter internationaler virtueller Teams fokussiert und vor dem Hintergrund aktueller Trends potentielle Entwicklungsrichtungen für Forschung und Praxis skizziert werden.
