Anthology from the year 2023 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University (DHBW), language: English, abstract: Communication and collaboration across cultures and geographic distances can pose various challenges but also be enriching and fruitful. Increasingly, companies use virtual teams where members are dispersed worldwide, have limited face-to-face contact and work together using electronic communication media. Covid-19 made virtual collaboration still more common. This brought opportunities and challenges of enabling work from home and effectively managing staff from a distance. This book reports findings from a study tour to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, conducted with students from Germany and Taiwan. Subsidiaries of three German/European and three Taiwanese companies were visited. These topics are addressed: - Identifying cultural differences and their impact - Leadership and motivation across cultures - Communication and collaboration across cultures - Dealing with pandemic-induced home office - Collaboration in distributed virtual/hybrid teams - Leading distributed virtual/hybrid teams Each of the eight chapters reviews the extant literature, reports findings from the study tour, and provides recommendations for practice.
