I graduated from NanKai University, China with a B.A. in Library Science and a double bachelor’s degree in International Economics and Trade. I joined CNM in August 2006. My research interests include virtual teams and team diversity.

The role of subgroup in global virtual team collaboration

Much of the research on virtual teams has explored the team dynamics assuming the team as a cohesive unit. However, there is increasing evidence that collocated members may form subgroups characterized by an us-verse-them attitude. The area of subgroup dynamics is largely unexplored. This research is going to explorer how subgroup identification influences team processes and outcomes, and how this effect is moderated by team identification.
