Virtual office - a discussion agenda

Based on Davenport and Pearlson (1998), I note the following discussion agenda on the topic of Virtual Office:

1. What is a Virtual Office?
• Occasional telecommuting
• Hoteling
• Tethered in office
• Home-based, some mobility
• Fully mobile
2. Objectives for Virtual Office  arrangements
3. Virtual Work Management
• Manage virtual work
• Manage people
• Manage information
• Manage teams
• Manage processes
• Making  use of enabling technologies
4. Success factors and failur factors on Virtual Office arrangements

To study the topic of Virtual Office, students need to do comprehensive literature review.
