Abstract:
The changing nature of teams in a context of raising importance of innovation has brought on a need to identify the competencies that are necessary to work effectively in a virtual team environment. Our paper defines key elements and identifies interrelations between different concepts of virtual teams, competences management and innovation processes. Due to the systemic approach of the functional analysis our paper offers a holistic overview of a methodology of competence management to create competitive virtual teams for supporting innovation processes in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises. The generic nature of our proposed approach makes it applicable in any industrial fields.
