 Tacit world – how to manage global virtual teams in high-tech organisations? Management by molecular self-assemblyMiri Yemini International Journal of Business Innovation and Research, 2012, vol. 6, issue 2, 177-187 Abstract: Globalisation is a major market trend today, one characterised by increased international competition as well as extensive opportunities for firms to expand their operations beyond their current boundaries. However, effectively dealing with this important change turns the management of global and virtual teams (VTs) into a major concern. This paper presents a novel approach to the establishment and management of VTs in high-tech companies by employing concepts from the world of molecular self-assembly to the real workplace environment. By defining and analysing the critical success factors, a new conceptual model ready for application in diverse environments is defined.
