Team Development in Global Virtual Teams: Application of Tuckman’s Team Development model
(2021) IBUH19 20211Department of Business Administration
- Abstract
- Background: International trade has evolved from a barter system to the current global marketplace of international business and with that teams has evolved with this trend from regular co-located teams to Global Virtual Teams (GVTs). Tuckman’s team development model was introduced to estimate regular team performance of therapy groups and is widely used both in academia and by practitioners today despite the criticisms raised against it.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the validity of Tuckman’s team development model in predicting performance of GVTs. Further, one of the main criticisms of Tuckman’s model is observed in GVTs context.
Method: Quantitative study with a deductive research approach.
Conclusion:...

Method: Quantitative study with a deductive research approach.
Conclusion: The results support the application Tuckman’s model has in the context of GVTs, however, not all results point to this. For example, the investigated criticism of the model indicates that GVTs do not follow Tuckman's model hierarchy development pattern in GVTs further questioning the result of the models application for GVTs.
