Team Building in an Online Organizational Behavior Course

Abstract

The authors describe the development and delivery of a team-building exercise in an online organizational behavior undergraduate course. Qualitative data of student perceptions, collected at the end of the course, revealed both positive and negative reactions to various aspects of the team-building exercise. Based on these reactions, the authors discuss needed improvements in the assignment. They conclude by considering how their experience with the team-building exercise contributes to ongoing discussions about teamwork in management education and team building for virtual teams.
