5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books on virtual teaming, 27 April 2004
This review is from: Virtual Teams: Projects, Protocols and Processes (Paperback)
David Pauleen has pulled together an excellent book here. It has apractitioner / user orientation, backed-up by scholarly research, but notan indigestible amount of the latter. There's real data here too - manychapters report empirical study of virtual teams from surveys, interviewsetc. It's positioned exactly right for a reader who wants an authoritativeaccount of major issues in virtual teaming and summaries of bestpractices, plus helpful reviews of the literature, but without overdosingon academic theorising.
What particularly makes this book refreshing is that authors aren't shy ofchallenging assumptions and orthodoxies, especially about trust andleadership. Although every chapter makes its contribution, twoparticularly stand out.
I really enjoyed the chapter by Walter Fernandez who reports trust (andmistrust) development in a large virtual team project. Great common sensehere mixed with business insight (usually so missing), a healthy dose ofcynicism, and empirical data.
Also remarkable is the final chapter by Peter Murphy. He uses a metaphorof 'the organization as city' to put virtual teaming in the context ofphysical centres of trade and knowledge. This chapter is brimful of ideaswhich challenge those of the earlier chapters, and Pauleen has cleverlyused it as a coda to this valuable book.

David Pauleen has pulled together an excellent book here. It has a practitioner / user orientation, backed-up by scholarly research, but not an indigestible amount of the latter. There's real data here too - many chapters report empirical study of virtual teams from surveys, interviews etc. It's positioned exactly right for a reader who wants an authoritative account of major issues in virtual teaming and summaries of best practices, plus helpful reviews of the literature, but without overdosing on academic theorising.

What particularly makes this book refreshing is that authors aren't shy of challenging assumptions and orthodoxies, especially about trust and leadership. Although every chapter makes its contribution, two particularly stand out.
