Enterprise Networking: Working Together Apart

Cut time and expense without sacrificing quality. Focusing on work environments in which knowledge workers use electronic networks and networking techniques to access, communicate, and share information, this book develops strategic and practical approaches that distributed organizations can use to succeed and compete. You'll explore how to decrease the time required to create quality products and services - even when work teams are geographically and culturally dispersed, or 'working together apart.' With a foreword by organizational expert Edgar H Schein of MIT's Sloan School, this book is indispensable for managers and planners seeking innovative ways to build the capabilities necessary for prosperity in this complex and rapidly changing world.
