Managing Globally Distributed Engineering Teams: A Case Study on Virtual Industrial Engineering
Globally distributed engineering teams face particular challenges regarding collaboration and communication. Spatial,temporal and cultural distances force a virtual cooperation that must adequately enable idea mediation and decision making within engineering teams. Thus,the engineering management plays a central role and therefore has to react to support and govern those teams. On this perspective,this contribution shares fundamental insights,results,challenges,and implications derived from a nine-month engineering project between students from Stanford University and Hasso Plattner Institute,their focus user group,and their client principal-a leading German engineering enterprise conglomerate.
