Leadership in the Digital Context In Technological Companies

Welcome to our blog!

We have decided to create a blog about leadership in a digital environment through the lens of tech companies. The reason why we chose this topic is because most of our team members have technological background and interest. We thought it would be a great idea to explore the leadership aspect in both the physical and digital environments.We believe that this topic is underexplored, and needs to be examined further. Many big technology companies such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft and HP outsource some aspects of their IT sector in many other countries in order to get the best possible values. As a result, these companies often have to work internationally and in virtual environment in order to maintain communication with their other branches in different countries. In our blog, we intend to examine how these virtual leaders deal with their team members who live in same or different time zones and require asynchronous communication.
