Question

Which of the following are common reasons for establishing virtual teams?
1. Time zone differences have no impact.
2. Experts who are not in the same location can be brought together.
3. They are cost effective.
4. They are convenient

Answer 1

Correct answers: 2, 3 and 4.

- 2 is true: virtual teams let organizations bring together experts who are geographically dispersed.
- 3 is true: they can be cost-effective (reduced travel, office space, relocation).
- 4 is true: they offer convenience and flexibility for members.

1 is false: time zone differences do have an impact (often a challenge), although they can sometimes be leveraged (e.g., follow-the-sun work).
