This research effort presents a systematic review of high-quality, scholarly research applicable to a new type of virtual team, Unanticipated Virtual Teams (UVT), that were triggered by the recent coronavirus pandemic and, as such, have not previously been the focus of scholarly research. These teams were co-located teams that were sent home to telework and social distance while using electronic methods to communicate and continue work. The systematic review-done in alignment with the methods presented D. Denyer and D. Tranfield (2009) (pp. 671-689)-extends the research of Chatfield et al., (2014), Caya et al. (2013), and Purvanova and Kenda (2018). This review identifies best practices, as defined through a lens of paradox theory, within the research on ad hoc, hybrid, global, and other types of virtual teams and synthesizes those practices to assist practitioners struggling with UVTs while trying to produce high-quality products and services in a business environment. In addition, research on telecommuting and teleworking was explored for similar best practices. In total, 110 articles published in peer-reviewed scholarship since 2013 are synthesized. As a result, 70 best practices are identified and synthesized, mitigating or moderating the challenges of 17 paradoxes for the practitioner. In addition, two methods identify common elements of these best practices that are the foundation for anticipating additional paradoxes or virtual team challenges: First, five decision-makers and two common methods are identified because they mitigate the challenges of all 17 paradoxes. The second offers seven specific meta-practices that similarly mitigate the 17 paradoxes. In addition, this effort presents the first historical comparison of virtual and telework research against the development of information and communication technology (ICT) tools and presents a typology of 14 different types of virtual teams in scholarly literature. Practitioners are offered a wide range of solutions to the challenges facing UVTs. A paradox-focused research agenda is also offered.
