Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Examining the articles in the major journals since the mid-1980s, researchers found a fascinating shift in the topics. Hardly anyone was investigating the impact of IT on markets in the early days, but the Internet changed that picture. The Internet offers remarkable opportunities to invent global e-market places for stocks, real estate, music, used books, rare antiques, and even social encounters. How organizations build trust, protect privacy, satisfy customers, and make a profit in these worldwide e-markets are very hot topics for research.
Research on group collaboration, especially when team members are dispersed around the world, is far more important now because of virtual teams and globalization. The psychology of group dynamics subtly changes when team members use online tools, and the shifts are not always positive. Investigations of successful and unsuccessful teams shed light on strategies people can use to make virtual teams more successful. Most students engage in some virtual teamwork, especially those who take some or all of their courses online. Virtual teamwork and collaboration skills are critical.
