Elde edilen veriler içerik analizi yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, yüz yüze iletişimin sınırlı olduğu global ekiplerde karşı tarafı doğru anlayabilme ve kendini karşı tarafa doğru aktarabilme temelinde iletişim becerisinin kültürel farklılıklar ve sanal ortam bakımından yerel ekiplere göre daha fazla önem kazandığı görülmektedir.
