Over the last few years, there has been considerable interest in the “virtual” — teams, organizations, groups, and communities — in management research and practice. The focus of attention has generally been on how to improve collaboration and knowledge sharing, how to develop trust and cohesiveness within virtual teams and communities, and how best to support virtual interactions. Underlying this research is the assumption that we possess sufficient understanding about the nature of virtuality and the ability to distinguish what is virtual, and what is not. Even though several researchers have attempted on various occasions to make a contribution in this field, we increasingly recognize that the nature of virtuality has neither been well conceptualized nor fully explored.
