This research paper examines the intricate dynamics of managing global teams in contemporary organizations. As businesses increasingly operate on a global scale, the need for effective strategies to manage diverse, geographically dispersed teams has become paramount. This study synthesizes current literature and empirical findings to provide a comprehensive overview of the challenges and opportunities in global team management. It explores cultural dynamics, leadership approaches, communication strategies, organizational structures, and technological considerations that impact global team performance. The paper also discusses future trends and proposes strategies for implementing and measuring the success of global team management initiatives. By integrating theoretical frameworks with practical insights, this research aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on effective global team management and provide actionable recommendations for practitioners and organizations.
