This week you create the case! You are an experienced employee in Cerveza Quilmes, an Argentina-based company founded in 1888. You are the manager of a newly formed virtual team. Research the company to understand the vision, business strategies, products, ethical standards, and goals.
To create the right environment for your virtual team, you will determine what leading practices in communication may work well in the Cerveza Quilmes corporate environment. In the case study, you will develop a management report with four parts:
An overview of Cerveza Quilmes with facts and figures.
Assumptions about your hypothetical virtual team (e.g., size, locations, purpose, objectives, team make-up). You create the scenario.
A “straw case”* team communication plan. Your personal management, communication, and CQ interpretation should be considered. The virtual team assumptions should be considered. To build the “straw case,” you will decide which communication channels, methods, decision processes, and technologies might be most valuable for the team.
A table outlining potential barriers and risks, as well as actions that could mitigate the risks. Reference the table in the team communication plan and include it as an appendix to the case.
