Reseña del editor

What is the "virtual workplace"? It's a world where networks of people engage in work, but aren't bound by the traditional limitations of time and space (they may not work in the same place or keep standard business hours). And, it's a growing reality for many companies.

The question for managers is: how do you manage workflow and employee efforts in what seems such an amorphous situation? This forward-thinking book presents an original three-stage model for the virtual workplace and provides case studies that illustrate how this model is working today. Readers learn:
-- The skills and competencies required for success
-- How work gets assigned, monitored, and measured (what's known as the "work design")
-- The critical role of rewards and compensation in this new environment.
-- How to "go virtual" gradually -- at a pace that's right for each organization.
