Abstract

Since key qualifications, such as digital and intercultural competences, are essential prerequisites for success in the working world, higher education institutions are asked to integrate soft skills competence training into their curricula. This chapter will have a closer look at global virtual teams and the educational environment with special emphasis on German higher education institutions and a European point of view, analyzing how well the young generation—Generation Y—is digitally experienced, serving for a better understanding of the challenges of teaching and developing digital communication skills for an international working environment.
