4.0 out of 5 stars A wealth of data and analysis, January 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Telework: Towards the Elusive Office (John Wiley Series in Information Systems) (Hardcover)

As with any publication in which Ursula Huws has a hand, this book contains a wealth of the statistical data and analysis that is so often missing from treatments of telework. Although now out of print, and reporting data from the 1980s, it is well worth while tracking down a copy of this book if you want to understand the background to telework and in particular the early research. Doing so would perhaps reduce the great amount of time and effort wasted by new young researchers who study again, usually less well, aspects that have already been covered by the professionals!
