Question

Describe the limitations of virtual teams.

Answer 1

1. The team members don’t physically interact with one another. Members of the team are dispersed and rarely communicate in person.
2. Language and cultural difficulties, ambiguous goals, etc., can cause conflicts among team members. Disparities in work habits and time zones can be frustrating.
3. Members of a virtual team miss the experience of office culture.
4. The loss of the opportunity for a fair evaluation and appraisal by their management is another disadvantage for staff members. This is due to the manager’s potential inability to regularly supervise your job because of the distance. Another issue may be discussing daily troubles and technical difficulties.
