Effects of Collaborative Technologies on Individual and Team Performance in a Network Centric Warfare (NCW) Environment

摘要

Organizations believe that teams are the answer to many of their problems and are implementing them more readily into their daily business practices. The ubiquitous nature of teams in organizations and the current organizational trend of focusing on a more global marketplace have changed the ways in which teams collaborate. In the public and private business sector, organizations foster global partnerships that require employees from different parts of the world to work together to develop new ideas, solve problems, and make decisions. In order to ensure that these teams continue to perform at a high level and produce desired outcomes, researchers must better understand how teams operate in collaborative environments.
