Chapter 13 in E-Shock 2020, 2011, pp 115-124 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract What will be the impact of digital transformation on the 2020 workplace? Will office life still be more or less the same, will we still have an office to go to, will we all need to become tech geeks and programmers, will be still be typing on Microsoft Word or will be talking to our computer and using VRS? Will we still meet and socialize with our co-workers and have office friends and networks or will we simply interact remotely? Will our remit be global or will we still act and think within local country boundaries? Will there still be specific function groups, for example for Marketing and IT, or will we all need to become multi-skilled, multi-channel experts?
