Introduction
In the fast-changing world of business, the work atmosphere is continuously changing
and the organizations are implementing various innovative techniques to bring together various
groups of people. Forming virtual teams is one of the techniques the firms have implemented to
reduce globalization. These teams do not work face-to-face and operate in a network which
supports their communication and their physical existence with the help of technology and group
memberships. The report will analyze two scenarios, Scenario A and Scenario B. It will also
discuss about different decision-making tools and techniques that will be used by the managers
of the firms.
Main Context
Discussion of Scenario A
This scenario has been set in a mid-sized firm of Australia where there are 800
employees working for the firm. 80 employees out of 800 employees are engaged with the works
of research, development, and design (R, D & D) (Abdel-Maksoud, Elmogy & Al-Awadi, 2015).
The firm is extremely eager for identifying the innovative and creative competencies of the
employees those who are engaged in R, D & D works and utilize their skills for distinguishing its
business from its competitors. The firm has made plans for a project for conducting a research
on the innovative and creative competencies of the employees those who are engaged in R, D &
D works which have been held weakly by the R, D & D employees as well as in their
unstructured communication.
It has been observed that if the communication through emails among the employees of
R, D &D could be accessed, then it would be the best way to access the implicit data and convert
them into knowledge. For a period of one week, the emails, of the employees engaged in R, D &
D works, their rates and direction of connectivity has been observed accordingly (Aguwa, Olya
& Monplaisir, 2017). The outcomes of the audit of research have been accessible on the attached
map of R, D & D which has been made based on the unstructured data and has been available in
the emails.
