Abstract

Good communication is vital for organisations at all phases of the economic cycle.
In virtual, multicultural teams it is complex, sensitive and can be a considerable challenge.
Karin Moser’s article, ‘Only a click away’, illustrates how even the tiniest matters – such
as etiquette, forms of address and degrees of informality – can have significant effects.
Outlining the differences between on-site and dispersed teams, Moser shows how norms
of behaviour are unconsciously formed and maintained by people who meet face-to-face
regularly and argues that different approaches must be actively implemented when
developing dispersed teams. The article concludes with a handy list of practical tips.
