Virtual teams can be characterised by the three variables, or dimensions, of time, space and culture, although the third variable is sometimes referred to as organisation. This classification enabled six types of virtual team to be identified (two of the classes in the classification are not strictly virtual). The classification can be used to identify different types of virtual team and to help you decide on appropriate actions to take to improve them.
