Spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic, new forms of working together have been developed, such as global or local virtual team collaboration or extensive work-from-home. Today work is increasingly team-based, digitalized and flexible, with wide-ranging implications for the skill set required by employees, management, and organizations, for how humans are going to integrate work and life, and for how future society, business and ecology will develop.

In this textbook with an excellent didactic structure students and practitioners find a wide range of knowledge in ten essential areas of virtual team collaboration. It covers key requirements, responsibilities, and practices for setting up and maintaining high performance virtual teams on both local and global levels.

This textbook has been recommended and developed for university courses in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
