Great IT skills, but only OK people skills?

Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › Article

Abstract

With increased globalisation, more people than ever find themselves working with colleagues from different cultural backgrounds. Whether working face-to- face or increasingly as part of a virtual team the need to build good working relationships is imperative for business. The reliance on technology pervades everything we do but there seems to be a time lag between the pace of technology and the skills people possess to interact in culturally varied work environments.
