Globalisation Impact Risk Mitigation
1 Global teams The impact of global teams consists of
various virtual, offshore and onsite
teams. The use of global teams through
use of digital technology ensures a
better coordination and an cost effective
way along with faster decision making
through use of digital platforms to set a
connection between team members.

teams is related with cultural and

channels along with
better leadership and
language and culture
training.

The complexity is
overcome through

as how successful
practitioners perceive
the adoption of these
methods.
