The Obsolete Office

More and more firms are moving towards the practice of "teleworking", enabling individuals to set up working facilities at home and cutting down on the need to run large head offices. This trend is expected to change our lives radically and fundamentally as the personal computer: commuters will disappear; urban communities will dwindle as people no longer need to live near their workplace; property prices in London and other cities will slump; individuals will enjoy the ability to work in their homes, to integrate family and working life, to enjoy longer leisure hours, to choose their working habits. In this book, Alan Dixie looks at how teleworking will change our lives and how both companies and individuals can take advantage of the trend.
