| Summary |
"Drawing from an in-depth study of two dynamic organizations, as well as 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." "Featuring interviews with executives, managers, and employees, telework and social change illuminates the ways in which access to always-on information and communications technologies - which allow people to work from virtually anywhere - influence their work styles, interactions with colleagues and supervisors, and the ways in which they define the boundaries between work and home."--BOOK JACKET |
