I missed this one, but I mentioned three articles from the same issue here http://www.clarkeching.com/2004/05/leading_at_toyo.html and there was another excellent article about NASA's MArs missions. Might be worth a mention.

If the population is highly cerberal specialists then it might not generalize. In my own, unscientific samples, I have found that one meeting up front to establish a connection greatly improves productivity in subsequent virtual work. I also imagine there are vast cultural differences here. I was told that one reason a Nordic country I was visiting had the highest global use of cell phones and the internet is that people prefered to work remotely rather than face to face. I can think of other cultures were the reverse would be true. However, if they discovered some ways to make virtual teams work better in our
budget-thin world, this is a good thing.
