Information Systems and Technology in the International Office of the Future: Proceedings of the IFIP WG 8.4 working conference on the International Office of the Future: Design Options and Solution Strategies, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona, USA, April 8–11, 1996Bernard Glasson, Doug Vogel, Pieter W. Bots, J. Nunamaker Springer Science & Business Media, 30/09/1996 - 386 من الصفحات Globalization of business, internationalization of trade, and increasing prevalence of multi-cultural interdisciplinary teams are beginning to redefine the nature of office work. Different-time/different-place/different-culture teams will become the norm. Same-time/same-place/same-culture teams will become the exception. The International Office of the Future (IOF) will be a dramatically different environment than that which exists in the majority of today's organizations. Prospects for the IOF give rise to numerous questions, which are addressed in this book. What are the salient issues? What design options or solution strategies exist to address these issues? How might these design options be best implemented? What are their implications? In addition, a number of specific topics will be discussed including: multi-cultural team productivity, IT platform requirements, and global telecommunications. |
