Interesting research, though I'm not entirely sure the results are
due to the distance per se or whether this is an apples and apples
comparison.
The culture and organisation of a project team make a big difference
to their success, co-located or not. It also ignores the fact that
some projects wouldn't happen at all if it wasn't for being able to
work collaboratively at a distance. Slower is better than not at all.
Obviously :-)
Nobody is saying that distributed teams can't do good work. Just that
- compared to co-located teams in good working environments - they're
under a disadvantage.
Finding ways to improve that is where CSCW folk have their fun :-)
