The purpose of this paper is to focus on the social dynamics that emerge across subgroups of onsite\u2010offshore teams and affect the process of knowledge sharing.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>A qualitative study of eight GDTs working around the clock is conducted. These GDTs are part of organizations involved in offshoring of knowledge intensive work.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>The evidence shows that the specific status cue of being onsite drives status differentials across subgroups; these differentials are reduced when the client is directly involved with the activities of the team. The negative effect of high status differentials on knowledge sharing is mitigated by the presence of straddlers, who assist in the transfer of codified knowledge. Conversely, when status differentials are low, straddlers hamper spontaneous direct learning between onsite members and offshore members.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>This work has practical implications for organizations that want to use GDTs to achieve a faster (and cheaper) development of products and services. Managers should carefully design the organizational structures of GDTs and consider upfront the trade offs related to client involvement in teamwork and the use of straddlers across sites.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>The paper contributes to the literature on subgroup dynamics, applying and extending the theory of status characteristics theory.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/09593840910981437","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,10,5]],"date-time":"2009-10-05T10:57:21Z","timestamp":1254740241000},"page":"242-269","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Offshore\u2010onsite subgroup dynamics in globally distributed teams"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Elisa","family":"Mattarelli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amar","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022022020434305700_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Abbott, P. and Jones, M.
