Creativity is a topic of interest across numerous disciplines and areas of study. Creativity constitutes a challenging aspect of engineering design, and scholars in the field of management claim that the increase in virtual teamwork calls for research as to how virtual configurations alter some of the management practices based on the collocated workplace. By reviewing the different literatures, we posit a knowledge gap regarding creativity in the virtual design context, where varying degrees of virtuality are likely to exert an influence on creativity. In our quest to start bridging this gap, we pursued an exploratory case study with a student-based virtual design team project, known as the European Global Product Realization (EGPR). Thirty-nine interview extracts, covering most participants, along with non-participant observation and document review, gave us insights into the nature of the project, the participants' perceptions of creativity, and their experience of designing in virtual teams. In all, our study unearths and discusses a number of factors -and the extent to which -they are found to influence creativity in virtual design teams. The study has cross-domain relevance from those interested in the management of virtual teams through to those looking at creativity and design.

H a u p t b e i t r ä g e Zusammenfassung: Die mit der globalisierung einhergehende internationalisierung und die rasante entwicklung von modernen elektronischen Kommunikationstechnologien erfordert und unterstützt zugleich den einsatz von globalen, an unterschiedlichen Orte verteilte projektteams, die manchmal auch über Zeitzonen hinweg kooperieren. Diese tatsachen haben auswirkungen auf die projektarbeit. im vorliegenden artikel wird eine kritische betrachtung der arbeit in virtuellen projektteams versucht. es wird der Frage nachgegangen, in wie weit die gegebenheiten, die solche arbeitsorganisationen ausmachen, es überhaupt noch rechtfertigen, von teams zu sprechen. Schlüsselwörter: Virtuelle teams · projekte · projektmanagement Project management with virtual teams?Abstract: globalisation and internationalisation of organisations as well as fast-paced development of modern electronic communication technologies require and support the implementation of globally distributed project teams. Members are working together in different locations and in different time zones. these facts have an impact on project work. this article tries to critically reflect the work of virtual project teams and it tries to answer the question, if we can speak about teamwork under such circumstances.
