Assignment:
Summarize and assess an article or a YouTube video of your choosing (e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DVFTWXCsII) on virtual teams.
Details: O'Rourke emphasizes (in Ch. 7) the growing popularity of virtual teams in today's businesses and highlights some advantages and disadvantages of working virtually. He does not, however, discuss (1) the challenges virtual team leaders face because of the distributed and asynchronous nature of virtual projects, (2) the communication challenges team members face because they must be self-directed, politically and culturally sensitive, and able to admit their mistakes, (3) and the strong goal-orientation team members must possess to meet project objectives.
Your task is to find a YouTube video or article that discusses one of the three points mentioned above. After reading or watching the material you found, summarize it in one short paragraph (80-100 words - call it Summary) and let your reader know which of the three topics the article or video refers to.
Then you analyze the information (take it apart, examine relationships) in several short paragraphs (call it Analysis); and finally, evaluate the info (judge, critique, defend). Call the last section Evaluation. Write concisely!
Include the following aspects in your summary:
1. Start your summary in the present tense with a clear identification of the title, author, type of work (e.g., journal article, blog, online periodical, article from database, newspaper article, ebook, kindle, online interviews, etc. - use Wikipedia only as a starting point). Example: In the BizEd article, "Leadership Communication", the author, John Norten, explains the multiple dimensions of leadership communication.
2. Do not include any of your own ideas, opinions, or interpretations into the summary.
3. Remind your reader once or twice that this is a summary by using phrases such as the article claims, the author suggests, etc.
4. Cite the source of your summary in the References (APA style).
