This book studies the keys to success of internationally dispersed teams. It covers both the context that must be created to foster cooperation across units located in different parts of the world, and key points to ensure a geographically dispersed team functions smoothly. A specific characteristic of this book is that it is principally devoted to three in-depth case studies, covering three different situations. The last two chapters deduce a practical, detailed methodology, illustrated with references to the described case studies.
