The role of temporal coordination for the fuzzy front-end of innovation in virtual teams

Highlights:

• The virtual team lifespan influences what coordination practices will emerge.

• Two temporal coordination practices were identified: tight and loose.

• Tight coordination helps to reduce uncertainty in the fuzzy front-end.

• Loose coordination allows dispersed members to work complementarily together.
