According to Robert Walker, CIO of Hewlett-Packard, the notion of where a corporation starts and stops is going to be different in future. This volume paints a compelling portrait of how the new workplace that is already taking shape is creating a new framework for the way people think about, and act, at work. It draws on cutting-edge research of the Institute for the Study of Distributed Work, the leading international think tank on virtual workplaces and other trends in the workplace of tommorrow. For anyone interested in the sociology and psychology of the workplace, this text aims to help frame the questions that must be asked now. It explores how the modern moves toward the virtual corporation, the technological consolidation of traditional job functions, and the growth in part-time employment that continues to change the relationship between the workers and their jobs around the world.
