Abstract: | Many of the "semi-virtual" teams that use both face-to-face and ICT communication cross multiple boundaries, such as time, distance, organization and culture. This article takes an in-depth look at one such ICT-supported distributed team and investigates some of the key issues that arose as it operated across multiple boundaries, in particular ethnic cultural boundaries. The results show that while traditional notions of culture are still valuable for lending insight into team member behaviour, team culture may also be seen as emergent and negotiated based on a wide range of contextual elements. |
