What will be an ideal response?


Virtual teams involve the use of electronic media, including e-mail, internet, and teleconferencing to link together members of a geographically dispersed project team. Virtual teams can have great difficulty building trust and establishing the best modes of communication. In order to combat these difficulties, project managers should try to augment virtual communication with face-to-face opportunities and try to establish a code of conduct among team members.

the sale required payment within 30 days and a 1 1/2 % interest per month finance charge would be charged on accounts over 30 days. When McCann failed to pay the invoice on time, interest was charged according to this rate. Later, McCann refused to pay the accumulated interest charge, claiming there was not a meeting of the minds regarding the finance charge in any conversation prior to the sale. The trial court concluded that the finance charge was in fact an additional term added by Advance when it accepted McCann's purchase order.
