International teams
An international team can be defined as a group of people who come from different nationalities and work together towards a common goal.(0)___G___The fact that they are spread out presents a range of opportunities and challenges that teams working in the same place do not experience.
One trend, in particular, which is creating the need for more international teams, is that we are in the middle of a dramatic information revolution.【P1】______ Thus, these teams can now spend as much time working apart as together. They can access and share information as never before. Business will increasingly be done in an ’information space’, with information becoming a product in its own right.【P2】______ Doing this through the internet and e-mail is inexpensive and relatively easy, in both technologically developed and developing countries.
A question commonly asked by managers is whether these teams actually work. Can they deliver improved performance? After a decade of work experience and research with international teams, I believe the answer is positive.【P3】______ What’s more, many of those companies which have actually introduced international teams have focused only on the performance of the teams, without taking into account the context in which they are introduced. Context plays a key role in the likelihood of their success.
Creating the right context for international teams needs more than a quick fix, though. It requires a long-term commitment.【P4】______On the contrary, companies need to focus on the way they operate, and possibly initiate a complete review of their practices, before introducing an international team.
Given these challenges, what should organisations do to make sure that their international teams are successful? Much has been written about effective team processes in general, and the first thing to say is that most of these guidelines apply equally to international teams. Experience has shown that international teams are simply more complex versions of national teams. 【P5】______While these elements may have a variety of interpretations in different cultures, they are as important to international teams as they are to national teams.
Example:
A If an organisation is just beginning to work globally and has only recently created international teams, it often underestimates the level of support needed by teams.
B It is now well established that any team will have a greater chance of success if it has clear goals, a strong sense of commitment, appropriate leadership and good interpersonal relationships.
C The recognition of this has created many more knowledge workers, that is, people who create, exchange and broadcast information as knowledge.
D Organisations must understand that operating globally affects every aspect of business and they cannot simply set up international teams and assume that everything else can remain unchanged.
E The first major impact of this is that satellite technology is increasingly allowing team members to participate in discussions wherever they are, at any time they choose.
F Unfortunately, however, few organisations until now have been prepared to make the necessary investment to gain the potential benefits that international teams offer.
G Unlike most national teams, international teams often work apart and across cultures and time zones, for extended periods of time.
