Looking over the horizon

Alison Maitland and Peter Thomson

Chapter Chapter 10 in Future Work, 2011, pp 147-156 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Larry’s experience will seem alien, though possibly quite appealing, to legions of office workers around the world. He is an example of how the future of work has already arrived for individuals and organizations at the leading edge. He works closely with teams in India and China, talking to them weekly by phone and chatting online by IBM’s in-house messenger every day, but he has never met any of them. Most of his colleagues are based in the US and China, while he works from home in Britain.
