My study addresses the question whether and how virtuality level of globally distributed teams ( i.e.:  geographical dispersion, electronic dependence, differences in time zone and cultural diversity) affect the willingness to share knowledge and information, and how, in turn, it affects productivity, quality, learning, problem solving, satisfaction, creativity and innovation.
