Abstract
The use of the term virtual (e.g., virtual team, virtual organization) is frequently used in describing existing organizational structures. However, virtual structures appear to be on a "continuum of virtualness" instead of a binary "virtual or not virtual" structure. This paper develops a research framework defining “virtualness” based on differences in team member location, the degree of work cycle synchronicity, and differences in team member culture.
