MINNEAPOLIS - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Dr. Margery Mayer, a 2008 PhD graduate of Capella
University (http://www.capella.edu),
an accredited
online university* that has built its reputation by
providing high quality online
degree programs for working adults, has authored the second
edition of a book on managing global business teams."The Virtual
Edge: Embracing Technology for Distributed Project Team Success" was
first published in 2000; the second edition of the book published by the
Project Management Institute (PMI) last fall has been significantly
updated with a global leadership emphasis. Mayer, who owns and operates
the consulting firm Global
Operations Experts that works with global business teams,
graduated from Capella with a PhD in Organization
and Management. As of Sept. 30, 2010, more than 38,000 students
are pursuing an online degree at Capella, with 30 percent
enrolled in Capella's doctoral
degree programs, and 48 percent enrolled in Capella's master's
degree programs.
Mayer says she wrote the book specifically for global business leaders
who manage resources around the world. The book explores the varied
aspects of global teams and how effective leadership truly makes a
difference. It includes case study research from such notable companies
as Autodesk, Johnson & Johnson, J.P. Morgan, eBay, and Adobe Systems
Incorporated.
"I was looking for best practices from these leaders that could be used
by others to ensure top performing globally distributed teams. Managing
global teams requires critical management, communication and leadership
skills that build trust and effectiveness," Mayer said.
The book is available through www.globaloperationsexperts.com
as well as through the Project
Management Institute website: www.pmi.org.
Mayer will also be speaking about her book at various venues in 2011
including the VC Forum and online telesummit in March, and the PMI EMEA
Congress in Dublin this May.
