The Pros And Cons Of Group Communication

Introduction

During the fast growing market around the world, the need for team formation is of high importance to maintain extraordinary performance all the time though working independently is required (but, not productive as teams). Also, the introduction of new technology has eased team organization and cooperation at further levels. For this project, we conducted the interviews with the members of the virtual team at ADNOC. We wanted to find out how they work together and what is to be improved. Thus, we managed qualitative research on the basis of a case study (the working team was under the investigation).
