چکیده
Globalization spurred the rise of virtual software development teams. The complexity of managing a virtual team is rooted in the diverse cultural makeup of the team. Research increasingly recognizes that culture has significant implications for information systems. We propose in this study that the success of virtual software development team is influenced by cultural intelligence, a recent concept that relates to a person’s capacity to recognize, understand, and utilize culture. Based on our review of existing literature on cultural intelligence and virtual teams, a research model is developed and corresponding methodology are discussed. We offer discussion on implications for this research.
