For your Portfolio Project, you will be creating a training manual that reflects the focus of each course in the BOA program. Each part of the portfolio will be a chapter in that manual. The purpose of the portfolio is to explain information that organizational administration professionals need to do their jobs well.

Digitalization, development of new information and communication technologies, and emergence of new forms of doing business have led many companies to start working remotely. There are certainly many benefits of working in virtual teams, including time and resource savings, the ability to attract talent from around the world without the need for them to be physically present in the office. At the same time, organizing the work of virtual teams is associated with difficulties that include creating them, hiring employees, holding meetings, and managing their diverse, multiple perspectives. The purpose of this project is to prepare a guide for managing remote teams to ensure their efficiency.
