MANAGING VIRTUAL TEAMS IN BUREAUCRATIC ORGANIZATIONS. A SWOT ANALYSIS
MANAGING VIRTUAL TEAMS IN BUREAUCRATIC ORGANIZATIONS. A SWOT ANALYSIS

Summary/Abstract: Bureaucratic organizations are more often than not perceived by outsiders as thriving on paper overload and lack of accountability to the detriment of simplicity and time lined decisions. On the other hand, employees of bureaucratic establishments have no easy task in producing the stacks of paper by which to make sure that their share of responsibility is well documented and justified. What is more, the same employees are overloaded with work while their motivation is not necessarily boosted by the resource constraints that these organizations have to face. Such a conundrum can and has already apparently been solved by the use of information technology in streamlining the processes inherent of any organization and tackling the resource scarcity that has become the cliché of the day. Nonetheless, the cultural gap between the very essence of any bureaucratic establishment and the impetus of technology that requires and proposes at the same time new working solutions for increased efficiency and effectiveness needs to be first bridged.
