Abstract
This study examines the significance of societal cultural differences in the interaction within 12 software development teams distributed across the U.S., Germany and India. Using norms of approach as an example, we pinpoint factors that heighten the salience of particular cultural differences and influence adaptation to those differences.

It is suggested that unrecognized differences in the situations, contexts, and constraints of dispersed collaborators constitute "hidden profiles" that can increase the likelihood of dispositional rather than situational attribution, with consequences for cohesion and learning.

It is proposed that effective global virtual team interaction comprises a series of communication incidents, each configured by aspects of the team's structural and process elements, which generate a deep rhythm of regular face-to-face incidents interspersed with less intensive, shorter incidents using various media.

Results show that the four characteristics often associated with the term ‘virtuality’ (geographic dispersion, electronic dependence, structural dynamism, and national diversity) have independent and differential effects on innovation, and that a psychologically safe communication climate helps mitigate the challenges they pose.

The superimposition of geographic and status distance in remote work lowered the cost of exclusion of one group from the collaboration and led to the deepening of status differences between remote groups.
