Explanation:
Technology can really help with communication. Team members can talk to one another with virtual messaging services, as well as being able to organize their work in a more central way. Having a central hub for messages and notes means that everyone can keep track of what is happening within the company.

Nowadays the business landscape on global scale together with the technologicalprogress has developed a favorable environment for working teams in the virtualenvironment . In order to save costs generated with expatriation and travel, theglobal businesses are looking forward to such virtual international teams that shouldwork on common projects. Using this technological progress, global businesses benefitfrom an accessible and practical cooperation on the global scale in the virtual envi-ronment. As consequence, many multinationals use such global virtual teams.Due to the increasing of global interactions and economies, all students have to facethe need to develop a diversity of cross-cultural experience, which is usually obtainedthrough different internships abroad or study programs in international mobility. Theincreasing of virtual technologies and international virtual teams represent a newchance for all students to achieve multicultural experience. It is very important for thestakeholders, including students, to be aware the responsibilities and the roles in suchvirtual teams at global scaleDespite the fact that cross-cultural collaboration using the Internet seems to be veryeasy, in fact it is not enough to click a button to have these interactions . Theinteractions and decisions are influenced at each level of the educational process of theeffects between stakeholders. The success of this kind of initiative depends on theinteractions among institutions, faculty and students. It is important to ensure access tothe same technology for all the members of the virtual team. The selection of the wrongtechnology can create numerous problems, such as misunderstanding among virtualteam members and communication difficulties. These misunderstandings and com-munication difficulties will harm trust among team members and productivity . Thisstudy in particular is looking at the specific challenge that is represented by theselection and use of the appropriate technology for GVT and virtual communication.During virtual communication, nonverbal cues like facial expression, hand move-ments or tone of voice are lost. These nonverbal cues are present when we commu-nicate face-to-face with other people. The communication via virtual environmentgenerates its own challenges. The use of the technology to a certain level that can beconsidered as a natural part of the team’s process is seen as a critical mass. In order tobe effective, collaborative technologies require numerous users that must use thistechnology . According to Grudin (1994), the continued use of a particulartechnology without prior achievement of a critical mass means that the technology hasnot been adopted. If this happens, the work of the team will be impeded .This study in particular is looking at the specific challenge that is represented by theselection and use of the appropriate technology for Global Virtual Team (GVT) andvirtual communication. This specific study evaluates the impact of GVT based expe-riential learning in business education at Arnhem Business School, the Netherlands. Ittries to identify the major challenges global virtual teams face and existing frameworksfor successful global virtual teams. This study provides also evidence for the usefulnessof GVT-based approaches and facilitates a better understanding of the challenges (useof technology and virtual communication in particular) and learning opportunities inusing this type of experiential learning activity at Arnhem Business School
