I was fortunate enough to be one of the contributors to the book. Even so, I have not read all of the book. It is a reference. One great contribution is the bibliographies/references provided in the book. If a topic is missing, I would fully expect that there would be a great reference list to get the information needed.

My plan is to write a short summary of the panel discussions at the collaboration & Innovation conference that covered some of the chapters in the book. I hope to get to that this weekend.

This looks like a useful book! Here is a link to a related article: “A Surprising Truth About Geographically Dispersed Teams” http://sloanreview.mit.edu/smr/issue/2008/summer/03/

Brandon– and others studying this topic– my answer is yes! This collection brings together writers/consultants/researchers who have been working in this field for a long time. They bring both scholarly and practical expertise to their writings. This is not a superficial treatment of virtual teamwork. I recommend it.

Hello Dr. Salmons,

That looks like a great book for my dissertation
Can you tell me (if you have read it) if the book touches on any of the areas I am working on in my study?

Thanks!
