Abstract

There has been much written about virtual organisations and virtual teams in the last five years. We have begun to research the shift in work organisation paradigms and structures, translating much of what we knew already about workgroups and teams in conventional workplaces into the new contexts, and adding some new issues and understandings into the mix. We may need to translate a little further to come to grips with the ‘virtual teams’ that are actually communities of practice (CoPs).
