Virtual working : social and organisational dynamics

This book addresses the social and organisational dynamics which underlie recent technological and work developments within organisations, often referred to as 'virtual working'. It goes beyond a mere description of this new work phenomenon in order to provide more rigorous ways of analysing and understanding the issues raised. In addition to providing accounts of developments such as web-based enterprises and virtual teams, each contributor focuses on the employment of information technology to transcend the boundaries between and within organisations, and the consequences this has for social and organisational relations.
