Contributions of Virtual Teams to Businesses

Abstract

Virtual teams are teams created and run by employees who are not physically in the same place. Virtual teams provide several benefits for businesses. Virtual teams allow employees or partners across geographic boundaries to work together. This provides an opportunity for businesses to access a wider range of customers or suppliers. In addition, virtual teams allow business employees to work more flexibly and therefore have a higher level of motivation.

Virtual teams also provide cost savings for businesses. For example, thanks to virtual teams, businesses can reduce or completely eliminate office costs. However, thanks to virtual teams, businesses can manage their employees more efficiently and therefore achieve a higher level of productivity. Virtual teams enable businesses to make decisions faster and more effectively.
