Summary:

This case study follows Jackie as she begins working in a remote team for her new job. The case touches on the hiring process, the socialization process, the phases of group development, and some benefits and challenges associated with remote work. In this case, Jackie is hired remotely and begins her new position completely online. However, she also has an opportunity to meet her coworkers twice within the first six months of her employment, and the case also demonstrates how such a practice can help the group develop. The case study begins by describing a few concepts related to remote work, including types of online teams and virtual group development. In addition to highlighting some of the challenges and benefits of finding and performing remote work, this case study provides further insight into the stages of group development in an online team. Students will be asked to consider the challenges or hurdles related to remote work, identify the characteristics of a group, and evaluate the socialization process.
