Drawing from an in-depth study of two dynamic organizations, along with extensive research on technology and organizational behavior, Nicole Ellison explores the subtle and powerful ways that "distance working" influences management effectiveness, worker productivity, and such intangible elements as social cohesion and trust. Telework and Social Change provides a multi-dimensional perspective on the evolving relationships among technology, geography, and the structural and cultural aspects of work in the digital age.		Telecommuting by any name: telework, mobile work, home offices, virtual employees, or telematics, is one of the most intriguing and least understood results of advances in portable computing. Employees and communities are eager to embrace it, and the media reports about it as a perk with the power to attract new talent, as well as to retain good employees. The question is how to start a program and what should an organization worry about? The difficulty for many managers is getting good advice on starting and managing programs effectively. Telecommuting and Virtual Offices: Issues and Opportunities presents usable research and advice on many of these issues. This book is for academics or practitioners seeking a better understanding of designing and managing telework programs.
