The study isfocused on the relationship between information and communication technology (ICT)-based collaboration and research team dynamics. Our diverse team, drawn fromresearchers in five countries and three projects, argues that an ironic casualty of thepowerful, global phenomena we study, is a lack of insight into what happens to genericresearch team dynamics, when groups are âstretchedâ in terms of geographical distance,generations, cultural beliefs, values and norms, as well as disciplinary/specialist traditions.Good intentions are not sufficient to cope with these challenges. This is because of theemerging complexity inherent in many types of international, interdisciplinary fields ofstudy and the complexity of the career trajectories needed to make these studies a reality.Our study underlines that there are no beliefs, values, norms and practices linked toresearch team dynamics, that hold across the current territory, generations, disciplines,cultures, organizations and individuals leading and conducting comparative studiesâand
