The objective of this paper is to provide some important insights on the key factors that affect the effectiveness of virtual collocated team and its implication on product innovation. After a thorough literature review and analysis, we proposed five antecedents of virtual collocated team effectiveness; namely clarifying objectives, team forming, trust, leadership, and the use of communication technology. Furthermore, based on literature analysis, this study generates six hypotheses in order to give a theoretical foundation for future research which specifically discuss on virtual collocated team and product innovation as well as new product development (NPD) in general.
