My thoughts on how collaborative technologies can support teamwork in business.

Collaborative technologies play an important role in supporting teamwork in business.  Google Drive is an excellent example of how collaborative technologies can support teamwork.  In Google Drive you can create and share a document with your team enabling you to work together at the same time.  You can also ask team members for help (or make comments) as you go using the chat function.  

Another benefit is that team members can work on the document anywhere at any time.  This supports teamwork because it allows people from different locations to work together and also allows team members the flexibility of choosing when they get to work. This is very relevant at Unitec where team members have different timetables and outside commitments.
