Subject and purpose of work: This paper aims to review the current literature on virtual teams
in order to compile what we, as a scientific community, know about virtual teams and their
management
Materials and methods: This research study is based on a systematic literature review of the
Scopus database.
Results: The study provides a holistic definition of virtual teams and their classification based on
a variety of criteria. It also discusses types of virtual teams as well as their benefits and drawbacks..
The key characteristics of virtual team management are analysed in relation to traditional team
management
Conclusions: In 2022, virtual teams are promising and dynamically developing as digital
technologies, current globalisation and the COVID19 pandemic allow for and even enforce remote
work. This form of employment is beneficial and convenient, but at the same time, associated with
some risks and difficulties that can be avoided with the proper organisation of the process.
