Read the discussion question on Page 71 of the Levin text. Assume you are this person who is managing a virtual team for the first time in your career. As noted in the discussion question, you want to make sure your project is a success and also that your team members enjoy working in the virtual environment. Answer the questions posed on page 72 of the text. Also, assume that your organization has now acquired two subsidiary companies located in different time zones.

CRITICAL NOTE: The third paragraph of the case study states that “…your company does not have a video conferencing system, and most communications will be asynchronous except for occasional conference calls held at pre-arranged times.” This is a rather dated situation. Given the ubiquitous availability of inexpensive or even free video conferencing and other team collaboration tools, please assume that such tools will be available and that your teams can do synchronous video conferencing and other real-time collaborations using these tools.

Prepare a paper addressing these issues and submit it. As a guideline, your paper should be five to seven pages. Reference any other sources you consult.
