To understand why the virtual design strategies that organizations create to foster innovation may in fact hinder it, we unpack four characteristics often associated with term ‘virtuality’ (geographic dispersion, electronic dependence, structural dynamism, and national diversity) argue each hinders through unique mechanisms, many of which can be overcome by creating a psychologically safe communication climate. We first tested plausibility our arguments using in-depth qualitative analysis...
