Answer to Question 2

Since the teams are composed of members from different nationalities and culture, there are translation difficulties, or at least variations in accents, semantics, terminology, and jargon. Lack of personal and physical contact inhibits trust- and relationship-building in many countries. Also, the social dynamics change. Additionally, lack of visibility of nonverbal cues makes interpretation difficult and creates two-way noise in the communication process.
