| Tiivistelmä: | This paper presents the results of an investigation of differences between global, virtual and collocated new product development (NPD) teams. Specifically, the authors examined whether and how these three types of teams differed in terms of usage, challenges, and performance. A survey of PDMA members was undertaken to collect the data. Out of 103 firms participating in the survey, 54 had used or were using global teams for some of their NPD efforts. The authors found that the use of global teams in our respondent firms is rapidly increasing. These findings also suggest that global teams generally face greater behavioural and project management challenges than either collocated or virtual teams. The authors' results suggest that firms face different problems associated with managing each type of NPD team-global, virtual and collocated. |
