2. Virtual Teams – An Overview
• Virtual – (opposed to physical) – non – non physical teams
forming and dissolving from other physical enterprises each with
different processes, systems and cultures with the need to build
trust, common aims and working practices very quickly. Like ant
colonies coming together for food.
• Virtual – (as not geographically in the same place) with the use of
virtual team technologies and techniques to address this.
• Virtual Capacity – In the sense of virtual memory where a
computer operates as if it has more capacity than it actually has,
allowing enterprises to incorporate external skills and resources to
address common issues problems and opportunities.

12. The Challenge!
Five different event promotions businesses in the
music scene want to collaborate on a super-event in
two months time which will host individualities from
each company portfolio and also create a sense of
cohesive branding.
However it has to be started from day 1 and they
have all got their own successful, competitive and
time-demanding businesses to run so it needs to
work with and for them on top of them doing their
“day jobs”!

and collaborated on event management, logistics
and launch by using the integrated technology

share the costs associated with the supplier and
technology supplier – with the technology supplier
looking into other value add areas.
