Factors for the success or failure of international teams

Abstract

Abstract There appears to be a growing interest in developing large‐scale international research projects on managerial subjects. Because of the relative novelty of these projects some practical advice may be useful for those who would like to create or participate in an international research project. This paper offers such advice based on its author's own experience and on his perspective as organiser of a symposium held at the 1997 Academy of Management Meetings entitled "Creating, managing, and benefiting from international research teams".
