| Tiivistelmä: | This study analyses how an inter-organizational virtual team, tasked with creating a highly innovative product over a 10-month period, adapted the use of a collaborative technology and successfully achieved its challenging objectives. The study of such a virtual team is especially useful for extending the authors' understanding of the adaptation process as virtual teams have more malleable structures than typical organizational units and controlled group experiments. Data were obtained from observations of weekly virtual meetings, electronic log files, interviews and weekly questionnaires administered to team members. The authors found that the team initially experienced significant misalignments among the pre-existing organizational environment, group, and technology structures. |
