Xiaodan Yu, & Deepak Khazanchi. (2019). The Influence of Swift Trust on Virtual Team's Sensemaking in Crisis: A Research Model. In Z. Franco, J. J. González, & J. H. Canós (Eds.), Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management. Valencia, Spain: Iscram.
Abstract: Virtual teams are an important form of collaboration, especially in the context of transboundary crises. Achieving
team effectiveness through good sensemaking is key to virtual teams? success in responding to crisis. However,
there is still a lack of understanding about the relationship of this sensemaking in a virtual team during crisis to
the virtual team?s development of swift trust. Adapting from a model of sensemaking, in this paper, we propose a
research model to describe the relationships among swift trust, sensemaking and virtual team performance in the
context of virtual teams during crisis.

Tina Comes (Ed.), Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management (1055). Albi, France: Iscram.
Abstract: In this paper, we propose sociomaterialism as a theoretical lens for studying virtual team management during organizational crisis. In applying this lens, we propose the use of pattern theory as the method of choice for documenting effective practices for managing virtual teams in organizational crisis settings.

Xiaodan Yu, & Deepak Khazanchi. (2015). Patterns of Information Technology (IT) Adaptation in Building Shared Mental Models for Crisis Management Teams. In L. Palen, M. Buscher, T. Comes, & A. Hughes (Eds.), ISCRAM 2015 Conference Proceedings ? 12th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management. Kristiansand, Norway: University of Agder (UiA).
Abstract: One of the essential tasks of crisis management is to develop shared mental models (SMM) among teams and members about the crisis at hand, i.e. shared understanding of the task, process, technology and the teams. This is essential for developing an effective crisis management strategy. In this paper we draw lessons from our studies of distributed teams and their adaptation of IT capabilities to impact shared understanding. In particular, we discuss how patterns of the interplay between IT adaptation and SMM development have implications for crisis management teams.
