What would happen if a University adapted virtual teams?

Answer 1

Virtual teams significantly reduces office expenses as well as parking lot and commuter expenses. It may or may not increase schedule flexibility (as it may still be a requirement that everyone on a team be available for calls, IMs, or email responses between hours X and Y. However it clearly eliminates time wasted getting to and from a central office.

Supporting virtual teams is much easier as technology provides ways of screen sharing and conference calling.

People can live further from campus and reduce campus traffic and parking problems.
